Try to dodge the tax man for enough money there will be gunmen at your door to take you to prison.

Of course the practical inability to refrain from "using" government is a big difference! But it needs to be included in the analysis - it is not as simple as "if you don't pay, there will eventually be force; ergo it is robbery".
I just don't think the first difference is well expressed by pointing out that force is eventually involved.
As someone who's experienced both a muggings and police brutality I'm not really going to see much of a difference.
I think it is a necessary evil for the most part but I still hold the opinion it isn't something you get a choice in.
With that Apple example: For all we know, the industry could be in a much better position if it were not for the iPod/iPhone. The stuff Apple brought with the iPod/iPhone (DRM and the App Store model) have arguably set the software industry back. And an argument in favor of Apple: stuff like the RPi/VR wouldn't have been economically feasible since there was no pass production of ARM processors / high-density screens.
Point is, we don't know.
There's no way of telling if BI works without actually doing it. And that's what the point of this study is.
All the system needs to control resources is to define it as "excess capital or resources." You end up with a globally centralized economy, where the independent business owners are robbed when successful to feed the system.
