No, there is something fundamentally wrong with fanboism. Imagine a company very similar to Apple that suddenly came into existence; call it "Orange". Suppose Orange had products nearly identical to Apple in quality/UX except for a few innovations here and there. Would an Apple fanboi embrace Orange as a potential new vendor or defend their current pet corporation?
I understand people liking a product/process because it is efficient and profitable or even aesthetic. But fanboism in all its forms creates a stagnant mind with blind loyalty that dismisses superior products.
BTW, this also extends to musicians, actors, sports teams. Sports teams are way too transient even define as an entity. Players become free agents or retire, coaches get fired. I do wonder if any Houston Oiler fans cheer for the Tennesee Titans.
