I think some people get tired of repeated comments by geek-liberal activists coming out of the woodwork to attack Apple, when, in reality, very few people share their particular perspective. "Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system!"
In all seriousness, this is a real problem in IT. People see shiny new products, and focus on the shininess, not the ethics behind it.
E.g. reviews of new Android devices that so rarely investigate whether the manufacturer is abiding by the terms of the GPL.
