That's because despite it having gone from a niche company in the early 2000s to one of the biggest and most powerful in the entire world, it's still a cult in many aspects. Apple is blatantly anti-consumer on so many fronts but gets away with it all the time, and often times their own customers are the biggest bolsters to their behavior. People defend the 30% Apple tax, or the inability to install other OSes, or the screwing of Android users on SMS, etc...all the time. Things other companies simply don't get away with.
