  4. We are a capitalist society, they are not "getting away" with anything.
    They can charge what they want, and if people continue to buy then they are not charging too much.

  5. Bullshit, it's all about keeping up with the Johnsons.

    " That's what Apple does, and Apple doesn't need 'macOS as a Service' to do it."

    Thankfully the law has a different opinion, it's called depraved indifference, when your actions have a high probability of causing harm, you should be held accountable for the harm they caused regardless of how much effort it took.
