Apple is too smart to want #1. I'll concede to you that they dominate the market through their avoidance of monopoly, but they hardly have a monopoly on tech as a whole. Modern MacOS is truly terrible if you aren't a creative or "business" customer, and it's intuitiveness as a user-friendly OS has waned for a while now. All of their other products are glorified lifestyle devices. How does that constitute a monopoly on anything but vanity? We can both disagree on our subjective interpretation of Apple's ecosystem, and our subjective opinions on where they're headed as a company. We both seem to agree that they're objectively molesting the market though, so we're frankly not disagreeing on much. Still, "permission to worry" is a silly albatross to wear on anyone's behalf. Sounds like an article GameInformer would write about the Xbox 360, not an article discussing the merits of modern computing. |

The article is as-yet unwritten -- the premiss will be that in general, the privilege of being permitted to worry about any given thing is, in an organization, the most critical plank of status. The opposite of a window seat.
Pay, equity, everything else -- not as important.
It has little to do with my former employer specifically. It's anthropology.
