The problem is that his comment is totally irrelevant. Whether what Adobe is doing is better than what Apple is doing has zero bearing on whether it's the best thing for Adobe to do, which is what my comment was about. The rhetorical tactic he was employing was to make it seem as if there are only two options, be Apple or be Adobe as it is in this post. That rhetorical dichotomy is misleading, even if he wasn't making an exclusive logical statement.
