They have consistently fought against having clones undercut their own business. (A trend that started with Franklin Ace and continues until today.)
But they aren't into getting into bed with other would-be monopolists. And if you have their stuff, they want it to be as usable as possible. (Albeit sometimes with additional purchases from them for more hardware.)
So they aren't anti-consumer, they just want consumers to consume from them.
Cheers,
