People, including those you love, can also do things you don't like.
I'm not sure if I have a point here but the line of reasoning there doesn't quite make sense to me.
MacOS X Panther with Aqua’s basically artifact-less and butter smooth postscript based rendering capabilities, the beloved (!) BSD shell I could drop into at any point. All of that in 2003 … a true OS from the future and for the masses!
Battery runtime of PPC 7xx also was stellar at the time. AFAIR nothing could compete in relative comparison.
Humanistic and design oriented engineering at an excellent level and consistently so. Of course I aspired to be exactly like that as a professional!
Too bad they have strayed from that in many ways over the years. They IMO mostly still, but only barely hold the functional high ground these days.
Not healthy for society, but really good for the economy.
That said, it is different from the love I have for people. When my son was young and would treat people poorly over things, I told him there are three kinds of things we can love: people, places, and things. When there's any conflict, the priority should almost always be in that order.
It's rather clearly worded and I see no contradiction.
