You're complaining about straw men while simultaneously arguing that Apple customers have Stockholm syndrome when only a small fraction of them have issues. Right. Not your analogy, but it's a terrible one. If 10 customers buy a product, and 1 has an issue, and that 1 chooses to repeatedly buy and also have repeated issues, that 1 person may have Stockholm syndrome (I mean it's still a childish argument, but sure, why not?). I fail to see why the other 9 would. I'm personally in the 9. I've had phones replaced easy peasy. I've had them replace a keyboard without a receipt. I could have found the thing in an alley for all they know. Are there problems with the AirPod Pros? Yeah, probably. I don't have them, but I've had my share of issues with their other products. "Keyboard gate", etc. As for the price tags, their products clearly have enough of an design or feature edge somewhere that people are willing to pay. Some people either don't have that money, or aren't willing to pay. That's it. Otherwise, we'd all be driving cheap econoboxes, because they all get the driving task down pretty well.
