You have a good point regarding pollution and repair policy, however you claim they have produced a bunch of crap over the years. Are you saying some of their products haven't been up to snuff? Or everything they produce is crap?
Also, the comment about people refusing to think is a bit obtuse, don't you think? Assuming that people who buy Apple products don't think is a ridiculous claim. At least recognize that those people might have a different calculus for their purchasing choices.
It's nuts how much toxicity there is around Apple.

Some. They also make good stuff. But look at Louis Rossman's Youtube channel, he rants about the common defects in the bad Apple products better than I could.

It was the nice variant of what I was trying to say ;) The mechanisms of Apple fanboyism work like a religion or a cult, and that's not a novel thought by me. In that context it's not absurd, it really is what happens: People buy these products often enough without an ounce of thought, it's religious conviction and our primate brain wanting to signal status. Not always of course, but often enough. And that does produce the negative reaction in others -> parent was asking.
This cuts both way though. You can see it in this thread and any other thread with Apple in the title - people bashing the product without ever even trying it out. They do so without an ounce of thought. It's religious conviction and our primate brain wanting to signal status.
I see a lot of well founded criticism of the price point and the praise that it gets before it gets reviews, backlash against the "I will buy that" comments. Wouldn't equate that.
And it looks like you are implying comments like mine are made without thought, which would be neither nice nor correct.
I assume this was meant to reply to a different comment?
Just in case: I did not say that people care about how things work. You get in every category Apple sells products in other products that are more affordable, do not suck and look good. Besides, many people buy Apple products that they can not afford, that's part of the problem.
