Why is that foolishness?

I'm not sure which Marc he's talking about, but they sure do have a
problem living up to their own hype.  If someone he sees as a key
developer leaves then he might see their software development
capabilities tarnished to where the quality deteriorates to the point
they are unable to compete.  He may also have been talking strictly
about the quality of their software as opposed to their monopolistic
abilities to push their latest on the market and have idiot managers and
media lap it up.
