Companies and their products aren't sports teams. They don't provide only an intangible sense of belonging and competitiveness. We build our lives on the things they produce (whether small or large), and we are systematically pushed into doing so.

It almost always means a re-alignment of priorities, if nothing else, that will shift their product away from why you use it in the first place.
