Also, I assume some of it is playing to your audience. That doesn't necessarily mean making stuff up, but sometimes it means emphasizing and de-emphasizing different things (play up love of Apple and dislike of Android usability, etc). It doesn't have to even be fake at all, I imagine writing this letter was emotional, and how you feel in that state and how you feel at your most rational may be quite far apart.

It reminded me of Jeff Bezos's infamous question mark emails.

Such a weird phenomenon what when a famous person does an ordinary thing it becomes "FamousPerson's infamous $OrdinaryThing".
