Because people like this are hypocrites… they want to take your choice away, and scream and fight and claw madly if they don't get their choice.
Mentally, these people are still children. They look at everything (e.g. alll of business) as it if it is a zero-sum game. They take everything personally.
It's hard not to be offended when you think a phone OS is tied intimately to who you are. Sad, but true.
