If you want to do that go to a grocery store and buy ingredients and make it in your kitchen.

Well ... no it's not. It's more like explaining to someone (or trying to) that you don't go to restaurants because they don't cook as well as you do in your own home.
As far as complaining ... it would be the same if some restaurant had a monopoly on sugar and you couldn't get any sweets at all unless you ate at that particular restaurant.

Again, not quite. I realize that Apple products do not "need" to be taken apart .... "if" they have everything you need in that product. I've never actually seen an Apple product that entirely met all of my needs. Not even the iPod ... which I would change if I could. So, I don't buy much in the way of Apple products.
And .. .again your analogy is a little off. I probably could add another HDMI port to my Sony TV if I wanted to ... but if I needed more ports, I would look for a TV that had more .. and not buy the Sony in the first place. Sort of like I don't generally buy Apple products because they don't have what I need.

I don't know. I'm not buying the iPhone because, like so many Apple products, it does not meet my needs. They are very pretty those iPhones ... but do not meet my needs. I think it would be profoundly idiotic of me to purchase any device that did not work the way I wanted it to work ... just for the "cool" factor.
