What does this comment even mean? Questioning semantics to undermine the parent comment's argument? Quaint strategy.

That commen means: you can take any company and find that its practices are shady. Nobody questions semantics. You think Apple is shady, I think Google is no less shady, maybe more, given their business model.
Well this interpretation is roughly on par. How does the fact that Google might employ shady practices as well really add anything to the discussion? Does that absolve Apple from any wrongdoings?
It is not about abosolving. My reply was about the wish to see move away from Apple and my point was that there is nowhere to move.
For mobile, FirefoxOS is around the corner.

For desktops, there's Linux.
