Hyperbole is hyperbole, even if you like the message.
My biggest issue are the double standards.
Marketing is necessary to bring up as Security and durability claims have been debunked enough times. Perception isn't reality, but similar to Tesla and Jeep owners they have high satisfaction despite objectively poor qualities.
You only need to try giving your grandparents a iphone to realize usability claims are greatly exaggerated.
I read an ancedote from an aspiring SWE that after he saw the Apple product he couldn't afford, he knew he needed it.
People aren't buying because quality reasons, they buy because of various psychology tricks their marketing department is responsible for.
It creates a system where developers are dragged along to support 100% of users.
I had 4 friends tell me about their mental health collapsing since the April lockdowns. 2 have started taking lots of drugs.
Heck before I started this new job, I might be technically depressed. I had never felt like that before.
As a note I'm not against healthcare reform, but it's against the HN rules.
No extra muscle necessary.
Dangerous games you are playing when you give into Apple.
