…so, you admit it then. I don’t see where we disagree.
Now that Apple has done it, the PC world wants to do it for real this time.
Look, the difference is in the language. One company hasn't "done it", the industry as a whole moves, sometimes cooperatively other times in a tug of war.
As the commenter above mentioned, Apple was in a unique position of being able to leverage all the work done in the phone and tablet spaces to push for an ARM laptop. This helped other manufacturers which already showed an interest in doing the same.
On the other hand, with the lock in mechanisms apple has in their products they also stifles competition and innovation in other areas.
They can both help push and hinder innovation. Just like any company. It's not about hating or loving a corporate entity.
