The point I’m going for is that I never see such levels of spite and toxicity directed at users of other platforms, be it Android, windows, Linux or whatever.
(Which is good, because that would be just as absurd as it is when directed at Apple users.)
Yeah, I'm not really sure where that vitriol comes from. I think it might be leftover nerd elitism from a time when Apple products were mostly used for art and media production (we used them heavily for Final Cut Pro and Photoshop when I worked in local television), and so a lot of tech nerds got their panties in a twist because art nerds were invading their space, but that's just a guess.
And also, that was like fifteen years ago? Let it go, if that's the reason.
