We're moving away from general purpose computing, and Apple is one of the greatest forces in this.

Also, they are a threat to a free market for software, as they regulate their walled garden with arbitrary rules and skim off a lot of value.

I honestly don't understand why a large portion of developers have so much love for Apple. I'm personally a proud owner of a desktop PC with an ASUS motherboard. It serves me fine, and gives me full control over the software installed on it. I'm not a laptop-person but I believe there are many perfectly capable non-Apple laptops out there.

Because for those of us that care about graphics and selling desktop applications, it is mostly Apple, Google or Microsoft platforms.
