> You are not superior, nor do you have access to superior things or ways of working, just because you buy Apple.
They didn't say they were or did. They said that they personally get value out of that product ecosystem.
Me choosing a product because I find value in it doesn't mean that I am calling you inferior for not buying that product. It's not a zero-sum game. You're allowed to be happy with the value you find in the products you choose as well!
No…I did not infer anything other than the ecosystem works for me and I find quality in their products. If some other method or product works for you… a salud.
If it bothers you that I (Some random person on the internet) prefers Apple over whatever you prefer or did not illustrate every possible alternative in my comment…well you should probably explore concern that with your therapist of choice at your next appointment.

Then apologies for misunderstanding your statement.
> If it bothers you that I....blah blah blah
Your preferences dont bother me in the slightest. It only bothers me when people claim that there are certain objective advantages in one platform over another, which you have clarified you did not do.
However you seem very quick to jump to personal statements, and suggesting therapy. Maybe you should stick to the content of the discussion and not insult people in future? You will find you get on much better on the internet that way.
> You don’t need to go to such great lengths to parse out meaning.
I wouldnt need to if people in forums were more willing to just immediately clarify what they mean in a response instead of jumping to attack the people who are questioning them.
Just because someone loves chocolate ice cream and says “I like chocolate ice cream” that doesn’t mean they hate vanilla ice cream and feel superior to the vanilla ice cream eaters. It just means they like chocolate. That is all the information you have been given and the only logical conclusion you can draw.
In normal conversation, it’s generally not necessary to acknowledge all the ice creams you like and don’t like just because you mentioned how much you love chocolate. I think it would probably be a pretty normal response that if someone demanded that you do that, that you would be irritated at the absurdity of the demand and respond accordingly.
But hey, if I misread that you were being intentionally obtuse, I’m sorry.
