If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

...they're forcing Apple to open up access to their systems so that third party developers of software and peripherals can interact with it.

Just like Microsoft a few decades ago. They lost some anti-trust suits (or were going to lose), and ended up putting "hooks" into Windows (specifically) that third-party developers could have access to, and develop competing applications. They didn't have access to all of Windows. Just enough to assure that they could "hook" into Windows and have a stable app.

Which is why we have -for example- Vivaldi and Firefox. I'd say also WordPerfect, but that seems to have died. But OpenOffice is still a going thing.
