Apple Reports Fourth Quarter Results
"Congrats to the team" for their effective "ecosystem lock-in"?
Congrats to them for effecting a 30% tax?
"Please sir, may I have another?"

Yeah, we get it, people who don't use Apple products exist. Not particularly relevant to the discussion though.

It’s still worth noting that apple does not meet every need if people are making carte blanche value statements.

I think the conversation was derailed plenty by offering congratulations to people for successfully making money.
