Who knows what <insert person or company of choice> is doing behind closed doors? What am I doing behind closed doors? What are you doing behind closed doors?

While there is a chance someone may be doing something bad behind closed doors, that cannot be used as a reason for why they are worse than someone whose door we have opened and found doing something bad.

Just to be clear, this is Apple, the company famous for putting user experience ahead of everything else (and often criticized by developers for putting user experience ahead of developer experience). Apple, the company that routinely tops customer satisfaction surveys. Apple, the company that has gone on the record time and time again about how user-focused they are.

There are plenty of valid things to criticize Apple for, but accusing them of sneaking malware onto their devices is not one of them.

This Lenovo press release is evidence neither for nor against Apple's malfeasance. But I think we can all agree that if Apple does bundle malware, that malware's user experience will be thoughtful, smooth, and superbly curated. /s
