Funny that this is the opinion for this product, but mere mention of this concept for Beeper accessing Apple as an add-on product is thought of in a different manner. Because it's a physical product? Because it's not Apple?
Because people commenting on HN are not a hivemind. Some people think this some people think that and there is no guarantee or requirement that these independent thoughts from independent people are consistent.
There shouldn't even be an assumption that two people's definition of consistent lines up. Just because you can draw an equivalence between Taylor and Apple, doesn't mean that other people will or should.
