So does Microsoft. Or Google. Or Toyota. Or any other sufficiently large company. They are put under proper scrutiny. But those are not white-knighted by a fan

So does Microsoft. Or Google. Or Toyota. Or any other sufficiently large company. They are put under proper scrutiny. But those are not white-knighted by a fanbase that always feel like they need to protect the multi-billion dollar company from negativity. Using myself as an example, there are companies I like. I happen to like Nintendo for example. I still call a failed product a failure (e.g.: Wii U), and sometimes I even dislike their successful products (I always hated N64 for that retarded controller). Why Apple "fanbase" abandon all critical thinking is baffling.
