The big difference is Apple products are quite literally beloved.
It must feel quite strange to be asked to adjudicate over such complaints when you yourself actually love the products of the company you're supposed to make a ruling on.
- newbie578 6y agoI bet there were people who loved using Bell System and people who enjoyed using IE over Netscape, yet we are not judging them based on how loved they are, but are they playing fair, and Apple since it's rise has been anything but.

This SNL skit was not unpopular: https://vimeo.com/355556831 https://vimeo.com/355556831 If you want your arguments to be effective, it may be best to stick to analogies that you have personal experience with unless you've read deeply enough to understand the cultural context.
- newbie578 6y agoI didn't say all people loved Bell Systems, I said there were people (some people doesn't mean 100%) who loved Bell Systems, just like there are people today who hate using Verizon and love using it. And Apple is not universally loved also, no matter how much you adore them, there are people who don't. This youtube parody was also not unpopular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyTA33HQZLA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyTA33HQZLA And there are plenty of videos similar like this. We can both cherry-pick like this, and my point still stands, I am not arguing which monopoly is loved more, I am arguing what is FAIR before the court of law, not how much developers enjoy WWDC and their Macs.
