Its about the money, but the money in the long term.
They will gladly sacrifice short term money, by strangling or usurping anything they perceive as a possible competitor and threat to their long term money.
because as long as they sit on the top and kill everything beneath them, the long term money will always come.
What I still don't get is the amount of evangelists and fanboys back them among very competent or geeky people.
Competent - pretty important developers in FOSS would simp for those companies (I'm not talking about employment, but about really just simping).
Geeky - it wouldn't be rare to find a Gentoo user simping for Google or Apple.
It's as if it were some madness spread in the air.
Just cause someone is competent or intelligent, doesnt mean they are smart or wise.
Yes, wisdom is an underrated trait ; popularity of making fun of such a thing as "Unix philosophy" among *nix users doesn't help.
There's people on both sides of every fence who get there through circumstance rather than cognizance.
