When I first got an iPhone I was sooo excited to give Apple all my personal information. That is weird, because, that is a negative as a consumer.
When I first got Fedora, I was pretty accepting of flaws in the system because I was so excited. Weird because, this is a negative.
But vocally, we love our brands we associate ourselves with. You are such a vocal proponent of Apple products, when Apple fails, you think it reflects on you and your decisions. You don't want to be a dolt that spent $3000 on a computer that can't do what Fedora can do better for free.
We give the companies we irrationally love, passes.
