Absolutely true. And I don't know why Apple gets more flack for doing it than other companies.
All companies care about one thing relating to their customers--how to keep them loyal enough that they can get as much of their money over their lifetimes as possible.
As consumers, we should be wary of that and expect nothing else. Buy products that do what you need them to do and cost what you think is a fair value for them. That's it. No need to be loyal to a company or to hate a company. Buy what you feel is the best product from a quality/features/price standpoint, and don't worry about what companies who don't fit that bill for you are doing. Wasted energy/emotion IMO.
