Your four responses on the stackexchange question and here really convinced me. There is just no way that Apple would ever limit the customer's choice by doing (or not doing) something! Apple's intentions are always pure and I know this because... reasons.

It's kind of like the App Store (on iOS) - they are not intentionally limiting you to one app store, they just didn't add support for other company's app stores.

Uh don't take me for an Apple apologist ... I am well aware and often advocate of how their business model leads to unfortunately limiting everyone's freedoms. But this one is not one of those, I think.

You shouldn't have bought a Mac in the first place, of course but that cause is seemingly lost. People are not listening to Cory Doctorow so why would they listen to me?

Apple is not limiting customer choice. They ship the MBP with 2 x mini DP so you can use dual monitors.

And nothing is stopping anyone running their own App Store on OSX. Mac Update has a sort of one already.
