BS. You and I both know that it isn't "giving the people what they
want". It's marketing and telling people what they should want and
then giving that to them (which is not a flaw of just Apple, most
large companies do this). Of course people think they want to live in
a closed source, walled garden - they've been sold that line by
Apple. These are the same people who buy Budwiser thinking it's a
great beer.

Nonsense. it is giving "people", as in those how buy stuff from Apple,
exactly what they want. Were it not, people would not buy. You can't
force people to buy stuff just by marketing...they have to want what you
have to sell. And the closed walled garden must not be so bad, since
people are willing to go there. Just because you don't like it, doesn't
make all those people idiots. Those who want a piece of the pie are
free to market and offer whatever products they wish. But why aren't
they doing so?
