Sure because the things Apple has done has totally screwed over non Apple users too…
Also, Apple’s success basically depended on deceiving the public. The perfect example was the Mac vs PC ads which were designed to mislead people into believing Mac’s can’t crash and can’t get viruses
Another more recent example is iMessage which is designed to lock Apple users into their OS.
The only reason they dropped lightning for USBC even was because of laws
They’re boasting about privacy, when literally earning billions from Google for making them the default search (so they’re selling your details to Google basically)
Even now, developers are forced to buy Mac’s to develop for iOS. So of course many of them will be annoyed.
I even had a apple sales manager scold me publicly when I sold macs (a week before bootcamp was released) that nobody would want to run windows on a mac, and basically implied I was an idiot for doing it. Two weeks later he returned and boasted about how macs could now run Windows. No apology.
Apple is a toxic company (even Steve Jobs was a TERRIBLE person who apparently used to park in the disabled parking every day). There’s plenty of reasons not to like them. And thats only a tiny list…
The technical team there I met were awesome… But the sales side stinks from the top down…

My reply was meant to bring attention to the behavior of some community members, not Apple the company. Sorry if there was a misunderstanding.
Feel free to not buy Apple products if you don’t like them. It’s your choice and I really don’t care.
