> Do people expect a computer company to love them individually?

I expect corporations to be honest and sincere, and present the full argument for why they're doing what they're doing. I don't know if "people" in general expect this, but if they don't, then their expectations are too low.

I am quite sure there is no US law which says Apple must build out support for media company DRM. Linux doesn't support it and hasn't been declared illegal.



I personally expect them to sell me a product that does what it says on the box, and Apple does that for me.


Well, my expectations are significantly higher than yours, and I believe I'm right to have them.


Many people who believe they are right end up miserable and right.


I would suggest dispensing with meta-level arguments and engaging on the object level.

Mate, have I got bad news for you regarding literally the entirety of human commerce.


What kind of response is this? I'm aware that expectations don't often match reality. That is a reason to recommit to expectations, not to lower them.


It’s a reason to readjust your expectations and change your actions so you don’t keep slamming your foot with the door.
