Why are people willing to sell their kids to defend the above companies?

With Apple it’s just sunk cost fallacy / Stockholm syndrome. Maybe you like apple products, that’s fine. But when you’re later confronted with almost £1000 for a monitor stand the mind needs to choose between i) I’m a mug and these people have clearly taken advantage of me or ii) no, this is a superior product, I’m a superior consumer, those poor chumps just can’t see it.
There isn’t really an in-between.
Apple does have a genuinely good eco system and a lot of good products.
The 1000 dollar monitor stand is not one of them though.
I never really understood why people rave about apple’s ecosystem. I find that my android phone and Windows pc can do anything I need them to do, conveniently, and it’s easy to transfer data between them or over the Web. I find it very frustrating that iphones only support a small range of file types, and that they can only use Bluetooth with other iPhones.
The people willing to drop 1k on a monitor stand probably deserve to be ripped off
Flexing on the poors, too.
Casio objectively makes the best watches out there but Rolex is doing a very brisk business.
