For me, the reason I'd call myself an Apple fan (despite agreeing Apple is in the wrong on many of the points the linked post makes) is the entire rest of all consumer products cater to "non-Apple fan" taste. Most products are differentiated purely on price, not experience, and then if you truly want to pay for a different experience, in most categories you're thrust into super niche and fiddly. My $2000+ Ableton Push 3 and ~$1500 in ergonomic Egrodox EZ keyboards. Those feel overpriced to me (but worth every penny for my personally). But the fact that I can do my work everyday on a computer designed with the values Apple values, that it's a product so good that my company even buys it for me, and encourages me to use it for my work? I'm going to be a fan of this company for life! If you don't understand, really don't worry about it, the entire rest of all consumer products caters to your taste, so just enjoy that.
