Analogies are a very powerful didactical tool. I do use them all the
time. But that's the first step. To empower people, you need the second
step -- abstraction.

The antipattern I am referring to is to take away this second step.
For bigcorps à la Apple, Microsoft et al this is understandable, since
they want to keep their "customers" dependent on their "services".

From my POV it is, and stays an antipattern. That's why I'm "in" free
software.
