Did you read the claims made in it and check whether they're false?

> Apple's horrid repair policies are forcing shops to destroy stacks of MacBook Pros

"None of that affects me negatively" — As you said about Google's privacy intrusions.

Bad analogy.

Destroying MacBooks that could be repaired is detrimental to the environment.

Manufacturing a new laptop uses rare metals, petrol, all sorts of chemicals, tons of water and generates pollution.

Take a look at the links.

Apple has done a lot of good for users and has amazing products, and they have yet to annoy me as much as Microsoft did and Google do, so I will continue to be a user and a developer for their platforms.
