In addition, I'm slowly realizing that the Apple Apologists are inherently
"herd animals".

It makes them feel good about themselves, in a safety way, to be *inside*
the walled garden, and, they revel in numbers such as the number of apps or
the number of iPhones sold.

What they find is safety in the herd.

I believe that's why they abhor when anyone is outside the herd, especially
if they interface to those horrid "non-supported" products. 

A. The Apple Apologists bought on *image* (not price:performance)
B. The Apple Apologist finds safety being a herd animal
