New No, he's not
He likes his shiny things.
They make nice shiny things.
They do.
Really.

A by product of people buying their shiny things is the possibility of bad things happenings to android. So? It is. That's business.

I'm not saying it should be otherwise.

I'm merely pointing out what is.

You obviously do think I need to rationalise something over and above the fact that Apple make a product that meets my needs.

You wouldn't have brought it up and snarked about how "smart" I am, otherwise.

Really, I simply went to try to prove the "out of existence" statement, and found I couldn't. But at that point I was on the path of snark, and had to come up with something.

And there is much about Apple that annoys me, so my default position is "against". But on additional read, I clarified my worldview / business perspective to include the reasonability of your view.

This is not a religious argument, it's a long term vs short term business one, and many worldviews can be accurate at the same time.

New Also, too.
Apple has to protect its trademarks and patents when it thinks they're being violated. Otherwise, they're worthless.

Yes, there is "I'm protecting my patents" and there is "I AM OZYMANDIAS! LOOK UPON MY MIGHTY PATENTS AND DO MY BIDDING OR YOU WILL BE DESTROYED!" It's often hard to tell which is which from reports in the press. :-/

E.g. Samsung isn't a tiny upstart.

Cheers,
Scott.
