Don't need to read minds.
They've done it. It is a fait accompli.
Remember the Mac Clones?
When Jobs came back to Apple he made it a policy to end clones and even sued Psystar out of business. They also sued quite a few hardware vendors in the Apple II era, not just Franklin.

They're not the only company to use lawsuits to minimize competition but they are one of the most agressive. That can hardly be disputed.

If it works for them and their customers...
