Yes, there's a very real sense in which the world is better for having had Apple than not. They have made technological life more beautiful. For that reason, people seem strangely committed to defending them through their rent-seeking period. Apple cannot be both a good company and a monopoly. As their users, we should not accept the false framing and false choice their management presents of either monopolistic control of the mobile ecosystem or endless spam and a Wild West free-for-all. I do not understand why people's hearts are still drawn to Apple as the company of Steve Jobs, when it is clearly something very, very different today.
