The thing with PCs (and androids, and ADEPT readers, and other multi-vendor systems) is that the ultimate responsibility lies with the vendor of the hardware. The platform holder can't fully control the end-user experience. Which is great in that it allows for diversification and experimentation and allows niches to be effectively targeted but it also provides less-than-effective vendors an umbrella under which to operate. There's trade-offs everywhere.
There is no such thing as a perfect product or even a best one: just varying degrees of suitability to your own needs and preferences.
Things would be a lot more peaceful if people just stopped evangelizing their preferences. Maybe we should start a crusade against product evangelizers.
