Using a specific company's Technology, in today's socially networked world, is a choice that you impose onto your friends, family and fellow citizens. I send you an email to your Gmail account, Google reads it. You choose to use Apple products, companies are forced to comply to Apple's unilateral and unaccountable app store policies, likely dropping other distribution platforms or 3.5mm audio jacks in the process. You give critical mass to the payment system of your choice, businesses and governments drop the ones they don't like or need anymore. Your choice is not just your own, it's a choice that you make for all the rest of us as well. I have no say over what options I get deprived of because of other people's choices. That's why we have government, because as a society we need a way to prevent you from screwing over the rest of us following your poor choices that give power to companies that use it to my detriment. If your choice only affects you, do whatever you want. If it affects all of us, let all of us decide on it together.
