Ditto what you said!
Hate comes in a couple of different flavors:
1) I hate them because they are big and makes lots of money - In the US, the underdog is our unofficial National mascot. Having been underdogs ourselves for the first century or so of our existence, we can identify with hate for a large, wealthy, aristocracy, in this case, King Apple of the Tech World. Not terribly rational at times (that 1980 US Hockey team was a fun thing to watch!) but part of our national psyche regardless.
2) I hate them because they've brainwashed everyone - smart people that have a different opinion than the "unwashed masses" sometimes get a little snotty about it and come across as just trying to help break the spell all the sheep are under and free us from our worship in the Church of the Shiny Shiny. Sometimes the unwashed masses actually have the right idea and it's the intellectual that needs to adjust his opinion. The market tends to render a verdict over time and I would think a company with $100B in the bank should probably get the benefit of the doubt until otherwise proven to have made a mistake based on poor sales, etc.
3) I hate them because I can't afford in on the fun - either because they don't have enough money, or they won't let themselves pay the perceived Apple tax, or they just spent their annual tech budget on another product, hate makes it all feel better internally. There's no need to feel left out because I hate Apple.
4) General purpose hate - some folks just like to be contrary, buzz killing, purveyors of doom, gloom, and nastiness. They will not feel completely happy -- if that's at all possible -- until every smile is removed from every face in every corner of the globe! Until then, the masses simply do not, can not, or will not, understand the existential angst that is our world! These folks actually have a Universal Anthem: Dust in the Wind by Kansas.
I'm sure they are variants of hate I've left out. Feel free to add to the list! And please, don't hate me for making this list.
