I think that Henry Ford is a really good comparison. I admire Henry Ford. He was a true innovator. He was everything an entrepreneur should strive to be.
Yet he was also incredibly flawed. His shortcomings are well documented. I still admire, and attempt to emulate, Henry Ford the entrepreneur even if I don't love the man as a whole.
In the same way I admire Apple (and their embodiment in Steve Jovs) for what they've done, and in many ways emulate their approach and passion for making delightful products. Yet I'm wary, and extremely critical, of much of what they're doing.
I can definitely be both. I want to promote the Apple that makes amazing products, while quashing the Apple that wants to exert utter control over everything.

Which is kind of like wanting to promote water without promoting getting wet.

not necessarily. e.g Nokia's Meego platform was open, yet it was extremely well designed

As a 21 year old, it took me a second to realize that was Steve Jobs. He looks so young.

Is that a trailer for The Matrix?
Just watch this little clip and you can see why I like one and not the other: http://www.wimp.com/stevemoment/
