What you've said there is that you are not rational with respect to your position re Apple. You explicitly say that people should work with Apple platform from a "sense of duty", that people should be "faithful".

This seems to me to make you unqualified to counter rational arguments.

Hm, nope. I'm explicitly saying work with Apple stuff out of conviction, rather than a sense of duty.

And I'm saying that Apple has a point in supporting the faithful, as in the people who are convinced this platform is the one they want to work with, because that group of programmers will probably stick around even when some new other thing comes around.
