Some platforms dilute the hardware cost in the software or vice-versa. Sometimes the lock-in could skyrocket the platform price which could make it less attractive. I think the solution is to step back and support open platforms. But who wants to loose performance these days?

Every competing device would be under the same rules though.

Personally, I'd be happy to pay the higher price instead of getting nickel and dimed later.
