Just as they have the choice to do what I consider stupid things, I have the choice not to buy in to them. There are multiple reasons there is an Android device in my pocket, and Apple is one of them.
Couldnt agree with you more on most of it, eg I wouldnt go so far as calling their actions Fascist, and they do seem to have helped their business(although irt could be argued theyd do even better if they chilled out a little) so not sure its not intelligent or rational.

And unlike some babies your not crying about it! and your smart enough to realise you have a choice.
