I don’t think any company or fan base is different than any other, really. Google, Microsoft, Apple, et al all serve their own best interests first, all in very similar ways. Their fans often have a blind spot for their company’s actions while lambasting the others for doing the same thing. And it’s just plain human nature; people see fandom as “belonging as part of a group” and any criticism towards an “enemy” is going to reinforce their choice of browser/OS/phone/whatever and that the company they are cheering for is the best. And the deeper you are in the fandom, the more your echo chamber feeds into those same beliefs. In truth, all companies suck, as do their fans. Some may suck less on a particular day/week/month, but over a long enough time period it’s all the same shit.
