As I already wrote in the thread - I'm not the one who celebrates marketshare OR profits. As a user - I just care about the products I use and if they meet my needs and that there is support when I need it. I'm willing to bet that (in general) that's what most of the general public cares about. Outside of these forums - go ask people on the street if they care about how much money Apple is making or how much marketshare Android has. No - they'll talk about how they like their particular phone (or if they don't like it). $ or marketshare won't even come into the conversation.
We're talking about people on this forum.
