You've just described capitalism. Consume accordingly.

Edit: It seems people are offended. I didn't mean to. Let me rephrase: Apple's fiduciary responsibility is to make money for its shareholders. If you are not in favor of this, pick different products (slowly migrating back to Linux, in my case.)

1. Fiduciary duty has a specific legal meaning that is not really applicable here.

2. Corporations are not responsible solely to their shareholders.

Boeing kills people, but it is OK since they have a fiduciary duty to their shareholders. This is just capitalism.

If you are not in favor of this, pick different products. You must learn to kneel to the overlords.
