Apple are far from the enemy of the free web. Apple offers convenience at a price (your freedom) if you choose to become a member of their cult, but they don't take away the freedoms of others, in fact, they play nicely with others and share their low-level technologies so they can "give back to the geeks". They hoard all the marketable front-end and share all the back-end.
As an avid Linux fanboy, even I can admit that Apple's lock-in is limited to their own customers and not to the world at large. They support freedom of choice, to either lose one's own free speech in the name of convenience (Apple way) or to use a Free Software competing technology which leverages their contributions....
In my case I opt for GNU/Linux, with Desura as a gaming platform and Wine for all my old stuff I still like to use....
