Yeah that's totally it. It couldn't be that people like to have a phone that gets security updates for more than 2 years. Or having an AppStore that is policed in any meaningful way that keeps blatant spam and data-slurping apps out. Or any other numerous things that the Android ecosystem is totally fucked up on.
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?
