In Apple’s defense, your company name is MITM. Man In The Middle certainly falls on one side of the perception line, don’t you think?

Of course, one might construe Apple as an MITM in the relationship between the user an and the software vendor.

In fact, Apple would construe themselves as a MITM, pretty explicitly.

Right?!

I get that some people are unfairly targeted but some other times it's people being (extremely) naive or just playing dumb

The acronym is unfortunate, you're not wrong. MITM here is "Moogle In The Machine" (the Final Fantasy moogle + machine learning), but the security-context joke is fair and I hear it constantly.

Moogle itself might be copyrighted, too
