Buying from a privately owned enterprise allows the owners of the enterprise to siphon off of the work of the people who actually build the phone without contributing anything themselves. That doesn't sit right with me, and it doesn't sit right with a lot of people. This creates hugely perverse incentives that magnify to global economic dysfunction and inefficiency and irrational resource distribution and social volatility. The world we live in!
