I think it's more like the author doesn't get it. I'm an ardent user and supporter of a minority operating system (in my case, Linux), but I don't have any expectations that large software companies are going to ignore their bottom line just to cater for the few of us who break away from the Microsoft monoculture.

I've made a choice which on one hand restricts my choice in terms of some software, but on the other hand I get the other advantages and the software collection for my chosen platform. I'm happy with the choice I've made, but if I really needed some software which is only available for Windows, I would understand completely any company who has made that choice.

I find that I win far more often than I lose, and I suspect most Mac users feel the same.
