Who is forgiving the system? I simply said there's no need to defend it. It will stand or fall on its own merits. If you don't like it, don't buy one but at the same time, don't begrudge those who do as if they made a poor choice. Its their's to make.
Personally I don't have a dog in this fight which is why I can look at this impartially. I never understood the fanboy devotion to a company that doesn't give two craps about you or I, just our cash.
