That's completely unrelated though? Of course people do like to have a phone that gets security updates for more than 2 years. Apple makes a phone which gets security updates for more than 2 years, and also is applying mafia-like extortionary tactics.

> I love Apple haters- They rarely ever make sense and just come off as bitter.

Whether I hate or love Apple as a company doesn't (inversely) weigh in on my opinion on Google - same sh*t different mafia :)

To be fair, I "love" (some) Apple products and software, though they tend to be older incarnations. (But that's true for almost anything - newer versions become too "loud" for me.) Conversely, I "hate" some business practices (and tech choices).

But I'm not a fanboy of either, I just occasionally come across their products.

And I agree on the comment on the Android ecosystem. Which goes some way to say that a totalitarian mafia is better than a laissez-faire mafia.

I wonder whether this also means that cathedrals are better than bazaars?

Of course, when I buy a lawn mower at Tesco, Tesco demands 30% of the cost from gas stations for any lawn mower fuel I purchase. So, Apple and Tesco’s abuse of their market power are directly comparable, and your bumper sticker slogan logic is sound.
