Well, sure, but the problem is that the Apple device user doesn't suffer from the negative consequences of the non-standard action. Other users do.

Of course people are going to like devices that allow them to cut in line if there is a little bit of space.

Non-standard action? It's standardized by RFC 4436!

Not all RFCs are standards. See http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1796 entitled "Not all RFCs are standards" :)
