Yes. Americans fully support their money going towards 2 trillion dollar companies as long as their device works well and they can upgrade to the fastest model every 2-4 years.

No problem about someone doing a good job in a product and making tons of money with it. With people wanting good things, this is also expected. The big issue here is control of our digital life and all the implications that comes with it. This looks a lot like people living in Leibniz "Best of all possible worlds" or living in a slice of that world not minding to the side effects.
