This reasoning should make us all sick. Consumers are asking to not have it but apparently the products aren't for the people who buy them. The markets have broken the core tenets of capitalism and led to dissatisfied consumers with no control over choice. Competition in these areas is highly competitive and due to high investment and low anti-trust enforcement too easy to destroy. I've decided to not buy these computers and and either make due with an older computer or buy one without the chip. If the message of lower sales gets through to the shareholders maybe things will change. Hasn't worked for vegetarianism, won't work here, but at least I can sleep at night. I doubt others will settle for hardware downplayed in marketing material or years out-of-date so the sales will stay up as a self-fullfilling prophecy and the shareholders will pay each other on the shoulders.
