Most of my friends are not "geeks", and do not exist in the technological space that I do. I'm not speaking from within a bubble.

So you have friends that are not geeks who know about the GPL and care? This is the opposite of the “No True Scotsman”. Anyone who knows about and cares about the GPL is s geek.

No, that would be a regular No True Scotsman.

Did I say that? No, I didn't say that. I said I don't know anyone who is happy that Apple disallows GPL. This includes people who have no idea what the GPL is.
