I suspect it's a bit like color, where individual perception can vary quite widely, with a dose of tribalism thrown in for good measure. :-) Everyone has preferences.
As far as the subsequent comment/question/snark (not sure) about Apple becoming huge and dominant, the most telling numbers to me are that the company's position as having the third highest market capitalization in the world (behind Exxon Mobil and PetroChina, but now well ahead of Microsoft), and the raw number of iOS devices sold (over 160 million worldwide, as announced at the iOS 4.3 unveiling).
