It's not about if a company is shafting you then don't use them. If a company is shafting it's userbase, it shouldn't fall squarely on the customers to make a company stop shafting them, it's legislators and governments with teeth who should do something about it.

Try telling this argument to the team behind Netscape Navigator. Microsoft's most attractive aspect was using their Windows market share to, in their case, take market share in other submarkets like browsers and word processors. If the customers don't want to be behind such a dick move, they shouldn't use it? The government shouldn't do anything about it?

But hasn't Apple always been this way? It's not like people don't know what they're getting into when they choose Apple over Android. Is there something I'm missing?
