I'm pretty sure someone like my parents has no idea what that even means, though I guess many of these companies might just be targeting younger people more likely to know

Surely the idea of open or free is always going to play better than closed, locked down and proprietary...? idk

Hey, people view something as locked down and proprietary as the Apple ecosystem as a good thing, so not really sure about that.

It's hard to know for sure why people opt for Apple products... It could be any number of things.
