I've been an Apple person since the Apple ][, and remember the lawsuit when Microsoft stole the look-and-feel of the Mac operating system. Yeah, maybe Apple lost legally, but still, they did steal it. And not just because imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. This is one prejudice about which I remain unrepentant.
To this day whenever anything goes wrong I blame Bill Gates 😜
Smartphones existed in Japan with apps on them and literally called iSomethingorother and the iPhone was basically copying that in sleek black design. Such an amazingly perfect design that almost everyone immediately obviates it with a case, lol.
Not to mention that Apple wouldn't exist as it is today without the company-saving equity investment from Microsoft that was made when Jobs took it back over.
Your base point would deny rock and roll the chance to be advanced by emulating the blues, so there's no way I can agree with you that non-copyright-infringing imitation is at all a problem. We have a strong public interest in allowing innovation that borrows from other steps forward.
Oh, I agree with all that. Like I said, I'm unrepentant, and it's not a prejudice I can realistically defend. I'm annoyed that every time I'm forced to use a windows computer the similarity to a Mac is only superficial, and I get frustrated.

It's always a good day to blame Bill Gates... for anything.
My thinking exactly. Anything and everything.
