"okay we got a sweet new connector called DisplayPort that's better than anything else!"
"Oh wow actually yeah display port is really good we should all support it."

I honestly have no problem at all with people who use and enjoy Apple products. I'm not gonna lie, they've made some genuinely attractive and VERY good products over the years.
Their insistence on refusing to use existing standards seemingly to just lock everyone else out of their "special club" and force end users to buy their specific stuff is fucking awful though.
