The author of this post doesn't see this as a problem and is willing to accept drawbacks for a simple life; I think it's a useful point because it sums up the attitude of the public at large.
There are quite specific systemic problems brought upon society by the indomitable ascent of large multinational corporations and corporate capitalism.
One of the most egregious, is the reduction of power a single person has in relation to the larger corporate structures they become reliant upon. This about some of the arguments used against Apple today .. almost all relate to the concentration of power this single, unelected legal entity has.
This is a problem for society now. Without something happening to change the rise of corporate capitalism, the problems posed will only become more difficult to solve.
Apple is not the problem; it actually just evidence that should be used to solve it. A symptom of a capitalism system that needs to be improved for the good of society.
It's definitely not an acceptable evil, when examined through this lens.
