yours is a straw man. tne choice isnt between apple and google or microsoft. the choice is between proprietary vs freedom software. dump your apples and macs. choose archlinux, gnu and linux-libre.

Thats nice and good for you, your users and your business. However, be cautious to not get the leechers, those users who are rich and still would suck others dry. There are plenty of those in the world. I believe for your service, they stil
