They are also describing an issue, which like pretty much the entirety of this Apple fiasco, is completely fictional.

Most of this outrage is about situations people are imagining, situations which often have only the most tenuous of relationships with the actual reality of what is happening.

Sorry you're being downvoted. I'd much rather have a conversation, in which I would point out that literally all bad things that happen are "completely fictional" until they actually happen. Imagining how bad things are likely to occur and working to prevent them is great, join us!
The thing is, at some point you cross the border from "working to prevent bad things that might happen" to the equivalent of "making up a guy to get mad at".

And when it comes to Apple especially, most of the discourse tend to go deep, deep into the latter.
