I'm also of that perspective.
It's sort of worth noting though that when Microsoft is presented with an option for blocking out Linux installation: they take it.[0]
When Apple are presented with an option for allowing Linux, they take it.[1]
The major difference here is OEMs, and that Apple has no OEMs.
We're essentially giving Microsoft the moral high ground even though they do nothing to earn it.
