Well, sure, all we both have is annecdata.

The notion to defend even the stupidest design decisions (mouse charging port on bottom) or attacking users who point those out or even just ask questions (saw multiple of those when I was looking for answers about my iPhone then, when I gave it a chance) is very common in English-speaking social media and forums (or at least those that I frequent).

I've personally never seen anyone defending Samsung or Huawei in that matter. That may be different in their home countries of course but I don't speak those languages.

To say that DadeMurphy is representative of most Apple fans is certainly an exaggeration.

That's true. My experience is only about vocal Apple defenders not the silent fans or critical users which are probably the vast majority.
