How is the ipod not a worthwhile mp3 player? It may not have features you want but it still accomplishes the task it sets out to more than well. The shiny plastic exterior was an aesthetic decision, which may not be to your taste, but beneath it lies a more than capable mp3 player with an innovative and intuitive interface. You're correct in saying that preference for operating systems boils down to a difference of opinion, but your original assertion that this demonstrated some kind of hypocrasy is faulty, because apple's aesthetics are backed by solid, and more often than not, innovative engineering. Since we're on the topic, I myself use Windows XP. I prefer it on the desktop over linux simply because for me it just works and I'd rather not have to wrangle with setting up sound, display drivers, printers etc etc.
