Don't sweat it; all it means you're a normal, rational, *mainstream* consumer who doesn't get all worked up over what one giant corporation does to another.
The format/platform wars are a side effect of life on the bleeding edge of technology; when you're an early adopter of new tech you are making a statement of your intelligence, wisdom, daring, and (of course) good looks. So obviously, everybody must agree with your choices and your values, unless they are brain-dead zombies lumbering slack-jawed and drooling through life. It's hard being a leader without followers.
Or, you could say that people are subconsciously afraid they might have zigged when they should have zagged. That they may have chosen Beta instead of VHS. So they seek validation in evangelism and debate instead of enjoying their toy and reading a good story.
Me, I rather favor the first explanation, though.
