I completely agree with you on this one.
The only thing is... I'm sure that 99% of the Squeezebox userbase are
also not audiophiles.
Sure, look at the questions that are posed ever so regularly on this
forum. And that's only from the people that decided to do some research
themselves.
What percentage of people never even do that?
How many people buy a Squeezebox expecting an "it just works"
solution?

Those are the very people that will be lured away by the various
options (Such as AppleTV) that are becoming available now. Especially
when they hit a snag or two with LMS.

So, perhaps the question shouldn't be which is better; AppleTV vs
Squeezebox.. Perhaps the question should be... which service/technology
is society at large ready for. And therefore, the question is really: 
"Which service/technology is perceived as better by society at large"

Looking at the value of Apple, I would suggest society in general
prefers "it just works" over "more options/better quality/more
flexibility"

A great example in the past was the easier (but lower quality) of VHS
vs the more difficult (But better quality) of Betamax
