that is a much different take that what i had on the use of artificial, and does put a different look to it entirely. an artificial limitation imposed by Apple vs and artificial difference from user's non-use of a feature.

Correct, I'm referring to artificial limitations on products used to differentiate between tiered price points. I don't like to use the other definition of artificial when describing features themselves for the reason you point out... even the smallest features might be very useful to certain people.
