My argument is that companies are neither evil entities waiting to pounce, nor bastions of sanctity which should be glorified, only companies, out to do what's best for themselves and their bottom lines. The apparent differences between them are because they have decided that different things are best for their profits, not that some of them are uninterested in profits. While we, as the people with the money, can push companies to act in certain ways as the price of getting our money, they were not evil before they did that, nor good after -- merely taking the course that will give them the highest ROI, and the largest amount of our money. "Have it your way" would become "take it our way and like it" in an instant if the latter would bring in more profit.
And that's what so many people don't seem to be seeing about Apple.
