I don't think people should downvote comments like these. It started a good discussion.

I think most of the comment was just fine. The second phrase of the first sentence (not planning on ever owning) probably pissed people off and didn't add to the discussion. It's ok to not want products from companies. But it's mostly inflammatory to reduce the entirety of a company to a weird clause written in the warranty that was just some lawyer thing.

That all being said, it's the top comment at this point

I was trying to get across that I'm neutral or I don't have a vested interest in either company. I certainly could have phrased it better.
I think that was just them stating their priors, and it wasn't a consequence of the logic of their post.
How is it inflammatory? It's a simple statement of intent.

Anyone getting butt-hurt over that should go back to Reddit.

Exactly. But unfortunately Hacker News is becoming Reddit; where infantile, insecure shut-ins downvote facts they don't like.
