Let's suppose that "it" is true, and by "it" I mean the statement "the average consumer has open just over two applications [at any time]."
Now we can only accept reasonable interpretations of this. That is, it cannot possibly be taken to mean that the "average consumer" only has some 2.xx applications running... EVER. In other words, there will be times that even the most basic Windows user will have more than this open.
Even the most "basic" or simple Windows user will eventually run into the 3 application limit, and when this happens, they will be frustrated by it. In fact, as the general public becomes more computer savvy (and computers generally become more powerful, artificial software crippling notwithstanding), I would fully expect this "just over two" statistic will only rise.
Your forgot the part where they name the bill after the person whose life "could have been saved". You will hear, "A vote against this bill is a vote against little Timmy!"
I've found that nearly every bill/law referred to by a person's name is horrible.

It is not unreasonable to expect different levels of functionality from one's home PC (or even netbook, as it were) and one's iPhone.
