This was just a glib, off-hand remark on my part.

Corporate PR copytext (not only Apple) often includes lyrical polemical poetry about power of markets and so on (like how requiring USB-C charging is an attempt to subvert innovation).

And then you have price competition - arguably a fundamental element of markets.

So in my mind, I imagined the Apple executives speaking to each other in a overly posh Victorian accent:

What is this foul marxist-leninist price competition these smelly plebs are demanding? Since when did they decide they have a right to speak?

Nothing more and nothing less. 😆
