The promo for this headset outright state that significant functionality require an iPhone or iPad (you know, oppressively locked down and all). It is over double the price of comparable headsets.

No, there was no chance you were ever buying this headset. You may see it as legitimizing your grievances, but I don't think any reasonable person actually buys that.

You, 20 days ago, regarding Apple - "Don't buy their shit. Period."

Of the actual people who would buy this, I'd wager that 99%+ have iPhones. Being able to charge the headset with the same cable you use to charge your phone seems pretty obvious.
