That is not a valid argument. The happy apple fans are consumers, they are not the ones losing their livelihood here, they are just buying a better quality product. I guess meesterdude is not talking about them, he is talking about those people whose livelihood is being affected. It is also true that Apple is sitting on huge amounts of cash, most of it in tax havens, so forthefuture is right too.

You can love Apple products while still hate their heavy handed business style.
