      Like any populist leader, they have just seen which way the crowd is moving, ran to the front and pretended that’s what they were going to do all along.

      I want to say that people like you falling for this is mind blowing, but it actually just seems to be a rather depressing part of human nature. I’ll never understand why people show such loyalty to a company that only cares about how much money they can extract from your pockets.

      No, they were forced to.

      If you actually look closer to their setup, it is extremely difficult and costs tons of money. Just to make their Genius bars seem reasonable.
