That's the universe keeping things in balance.
I attribute the Apple hate more to "hater's gonna hate".
"They're successful and I don't agree with everything they do so it's wrong."
That kind of mentality.
I'll agree they have good products (don't get me wrong, I played with the gfs mini yesterday and kinda was impressed, they've improved)
I just don't want to spend that much money on a product when I can get something just as (if not better) for half the cost.
I see that, but at the same time I see why people buy the apple product in that situation for two reasons.
1. The apple product 99% of the time is easier to use for the non-tech savvy person(still a majority of people, yes we live in the age of technology but most people still only have a basic understanding).
2. The apple product was out first and thus people trust it more.
That being said if you're the first person to make something you set the price, also people will pay for convenience. Apple knows this, look at their UI.
That's just my take looking at it from a business perspective.
