I think you miss the point. The business practices are good for Apple. That they slam everyone else is irrelevant. Steve Jobs made it very clear that he didn't care one whit about anyone but himself and by extension Apple. Jobs never thought twice that he was charging a premium price for mediocre equipment that happened to be more nicely packaged than the competition even if it was not more functional and sometimes less functional.
