Sorry I didn't think it was very confusing: Partisan = strong commitment to an ideology. In this case open vs. closed. Politics = the rules, methods and policies that dictate how a company runs internally and externally. So the point is Apple uses open and closed source/platforms/standards on a case-by-case basis. Most of their products a hybrid of both. It's hard to be hypocritical if you don't commit. That doesn't preclude them from making bad choices for other reasons.
