I feel that this rebuttle is silly. Nobody outside HN (and similar) will understand what this means. And, even if they do, many users cannot afford to buy an iPhone (the only real competition) just because of one security flaw that might affect them. Even then, the opportunity cost of switching is not minimal.

The fact that the only competition is unaffordable to a product with 85% global market share is a strong indicator we need to bust a monopoly for the public interest.

I wonder if Apple was perceived to be playing a security first product approach, whether this same audience would not be able to find a far more forgiving view of the Apple price list?
