Apple is voting their $CURRENCY in federal congress, and state congress, and city council meetings every day. They actively try to change the law in their favor, and curtail regulations that make them play fair by bribing senators. They cannibalize companies that try to compete by immense political (money) market power. There is no such thing as a "free market" here.
I'm required to use the devices Apple creates, because work. Once your product is required to be in the hands of many people the idea of "Vote with Money!" is objectively, demonstrably, false. You might as well tell working class people to just walk to work. It affects me. So when someone supports a company like Apple, against all evidence, I'm inclined to further critisize Apple and its users whom advocate against themselves. I'm even more open to harsher regulations on Apple, even. Similiar to how regulations on Gambling are a necessity to prevent heavily negative socioeconomic effects.
