Personally, I consider Apple an active enemy to personal computing. Their philosophy of reducing computer programs to buttons you click on, their moves to remove my ability to upgrade or service my machines, the recent revelation about how they slowed down older iphones to get you to buy new ones, it goes on and on.
I want the next generation to know more about how a computer works than you click on the shiny button.
