It is in extremely bad taste—not to mention ludicrously inaccurate—to compare your premium laptop ecosystem options with chattel slavery.

Aren't Apple devices assembled in sweatshops? The comparison might be more accurate than intended.

No, Apple has a code of conduct all their contractors are required to adhere to,, and pays substantially more than market. Their jobs are so coveted potential hires wait in lines for days just for a chance at getting an Apple job.

I'm not sure whether this is irony or not.

It still is.
Go research Apple's relationship with Foxconn.

Apples relationship with Foxconn has a lot more to do with providing safer and higher paid jobs to allow workers to escape brutal rural farm jobs.
I’ve never seen anyone wait in massive lines for days just for the chance at slavery.
If you don't like slavery, just don't buy slaves. Nothing wrong with that, right? YoU hAvE oPtIonS aS a CoNsuMer.
