many technologists have the whole suite of Apple products. The have invested thousands of their own money and years of their own time on Apple products. This changes their relationship to the corporation and leads them to defend their investments. To say "you made a bad choice" when someone has invested. so. much. will naturally lead to a defensive response.
Thus, the bending over backwards to excuse the richest company on the planet is very understandable. Especially within HN with it's fair share of early innovator and rich pockets.
It's understandable and utterly depressing.
