>> Hyper-focus on commercialization and maximizing shareholder value might make other aspects of society worse > What does this translate to in apple's case? If we're only talking about products, it's rather obvious that they are fairly hostile to their users, and I've been one for more than two decades. As for "society" as a whole, I don't envy any of the low paid workers involved in the supply chain of an iPhone. And, of course, there is "some" environmental concerns to have... Not saying that a French "Apple" would do better though, they'd be equally bad. I'm only replying to your comment.
