Is something wrong with you? You may as well suggest that Google facilitates piracy through Chrome as Chrome allows people to set it where you can download pirated material just by visiting piracy websites.

If you want to act like the contrary "voice of reason" in hopes that the mods will upvote you, you should probably read the article and understand the situation before you let your greasy cheeto fingers type away at that disgusting keyboard of yours.

There are very few modern single "men of vision" and Steve Jobs is particularly underwhelming; Apple has a great knack for marketing and jumping in when the technology is just right. Look at the sciences, for instance, there are no contemporary Einsteins or da Vincis. There's too much complexity which is why everything is done in teams, from scientific endeavors to video games. Steve Jobs is largely a figure head.

A lot of Apple's so-called genius is really just obvious stuff limited by technological and physiological constraints; swipe-to-unlock isn't genius, it's the simplest motion to intentionally unlock a device a human can do without any additional technology or parts. In an alternate universe without Apple products we'd still be swiping to unlock, just like we'd still be performing wiping motions on our asses after defecation to clean them even if the first person to do that was never born.

Strange comment since even the newest version of iOS was largely an attempt to play catch-up with Android, since Android has more features to begin with.

Apple devices are largely for those that don't want to or need to do as much as more "nerdier" solutions, similar in a way that a Fischer-Price toy is more appropriate for a toddler than a real cell phone.
