    This was just a glib, off-hand remark on my part.

    Corporate PR copytext (not only Apple) often includes lyrical polemical poetry about power of markets and so on (like how requiring USB-C charging is an attempt to subvert innovation).

    And then you have price competition - arguably a fundamental element of markets.

    So in my mind, I imagined the Apple executives speaking to each other in a overly posh Victorian accent:

    What is this foul marxist-leninist price competition these smelly plebs are demanding? Since when did they decide they have a right to speak?

    Nothing more and nothing less. 😆
