I wish people were better at understanding how comments like this make them come across. Like… it’s never feasible that people just disagree with you. It’s that they’ve been hoodwinked, brainwashed, or hypnotised.

There's nothing wrong with liking Apple's app store. I don't use Apple products, have never willingly used Apple products, and will not be using Apple products in the future, but this is crossing into Apple derangement syndrome.

I just don't want Apple purchasers to be trapped in a manipulative relationship with the company for the life of the product, and I want developers to have alternative ways of reaching the customers who want their products. I'm not interested in making Apple users do anything they don't want to do, and I don't understand what you get out of insulting the people who enjoy the way Apple runs things.

Is your sole aim to make Apple users defensive of the company? Because that's all this sort of talk is achieving.
