"OS companies should make their own hardware."
That sounds like car firms should make their own petrol/gas or 3D printer firms should enforce their PLA/etc or perhaps printer firms (like HP) should enforce their own ink/toner.
That's my personal definition of a monopoly with benefits - no thanks.

- awad 6y agoThat's not at all what a monopoly is, just a very constrained product. Which...can describe Apple from day one. And you know what? Even if you despise Apple, you should give them credit for being relevant in even the most dominant days of the PC just for providing some competitive pressure.
