For a long time, I avoided Microsoft because of what they did to Netscape. So I was an Apple guy. But then came the hegemony and inflated costs of the iPhone ecosystem*, and I decided I would prefer an Android phone. I still do. But I don't imagine that Google is my corporate saviour either.
They are corporations. At great personal inconvenience, you can avoid all of them.
*Also, these days apple laptops are like disposable junk. I used to buy one every 4-6 years. now I'm lucky if they last 2.
