The notion that all of Apple's users are just fools for good PR is not one to which I bother to respond because I choose not to be called a pawn.

Treating other people like that is, to my mind, a shallow dismissal of an opinion you did not have the good patience to discover in the first place.

Perhaps they like the things that they're paying for, and no one's tricking them into anything, and maybe they even looked at those alternatives and still decided that they liked what they had. Crazy, I know. Something to consider though.

> what are you paying for with Apple?

For me, it's vertically integrated privacy.
