Exactly. He's just using keywords like monopoly and stuff to gather support. And overall I don't understand why people take sides in corporate battles like any

Exactly. He's just using keywords like monopoly and stuff to gather support.
And overall I don't understand why people take sides in corporate battles like any of those mega corporations stand for morals or the greater good or anything like that.
- anoraca 6y agoBecause some corporations actually do make efforts towards improving society: https://www.apple.com/supplier-responsibility/ https://www.apple.com/supplier-responsibility/ https://www.apple.com/environment/ https://www.apple.com/environment/
- toyg 6y agoSome corporations are shamed into doing the right thing, typically after an extensive period of morality-free cash-hoarding. Apple was just fine with their supply chain until news emerged of conditions down there (and Cook being a logistic guy, he’s clearly always known), at which point they hd to save face. Similarly, they keep saying they are green but have no qualms pushing out billions of unrecycleable and un-serviceable electronics every year, without taking any real responsibility for disposing of them. Corporate ethics are hypocrisy all the way down.
- mercer 6y agoI'm an Apple fan but the AirPods are a pretty decent counterpoint to Apple being 'green'.
- izacus 6y agoBecause one side of this dispute benefits us as customers. It's that simple.
- trabant00 6y agoWhich one and how? And how are you sure they're not just faking it?
- toyg 6y agoOne side benefits some customers, the other benefits other customers.
- wayneftw 6y agoIf you don't like having choices and you think choices are bad for people then perhaps you'd prefer to live in a place like China. This lawsuit is taking place in the USA where people overwhelmingly value freedom of choice. Speaking of China - Apple gave the Chinese government their own app store. Perhaps Epic should point that out as well. It would make for a great headline: Apple gives China their own app store, but not US!
- pb7 6y agoFor someone who preaches choice so much, you sure are against going with a different choice like, say, Android.
- wayneftw 6y agoNot at all. I have and use both because half of my customers use one and the other half uses the other. That’s the problem though. When half of the people in United States have no choice but to leave their digital home in order to get some rights to use their own equipment without begging Apple... that needs to change.
