Why does the market reward anti-consumer companies like Apppe, that use their dominant market share to intentionally sabotage their own products to make people buy more?
For example, why does Apple fight against Right to Repair? Is it for the consumer, or is it for profit?
The market isn't supposed to select for the best products for consumers, but the most profit, period. That's why medicine is marked up skyward, because customers cannot not buy medicine.
