Yes they absolutely exist. I used to work with a bunch of them, and it was unreal. They would actually get angry when I mentioned that my Macbook Pro with Apple monitor (so all Apple hardware and software) would leave my laptop screen completely off after unplugging from the external monitor about 50% of the time. I had to hold the power button to hard reboot it in order to get the laptop screen back on. That bug was there for at least 9 months. It usually went in the same logically progression. First, denial (no way), then dismissal and blaming the user("works for me, you must be doing something wrong"), then acceptance but always with a comment like "it's worse on Windows" or similar. My MBP before that had a weird bug where if the screen was completely off (which I routinely did at night so I could listen to a podcast while falling asleep), after right around 5 minutes it would suddenly blast the screen at full brightness, which lit up the room and shocked me back awake. I ended up "fixing" the bug by cutting out a piece of tin foil and taping it to the screen. Absolutely maddening when you're paying a premium for stuff that "just works" and the company (tightly) controls the entire stack to "ensure the quality user experience." After that point I finally had enough and just bought a Lenovo laptop and had a much better experience with Linux on it. I think Apple makes some great hardware, and I wish it was more open/hacker friendly, but damn Apple is absolutely a religion to some people, and they don't take criticism well. Now that said, I do think the vast majority of Apple customers are just like you. The super fans are just a very loud minority. Some Linux communities have the same problem where a small number of very loud assholes can overwhelm the average voice.
