I'm not sure who you're speaking to here, but I'm the author of the post and I wasn't criticizing Apple at all. I'm just explaining why it is the way it is.
Sorry to be slightly off-topic, but I love your site's design. Very well done, and very tasteful.
:) Thanks.

Your article came off fairly neutral, yes. But a lot of people seem to be taking an upset posture. Your parent comment seems to be speaking to them, on the same topic as (but not in contradiction to) your post.
That is correct. Sometimes, I cannot find a clear place to 'hook' a comment into a discussion. I then tend to make a top-level comment. I should have made it clear that my response wasn't aimed at your text.
