Does everybody drive the same brand of car? Does everybody work on the same brand of laptop computer? Does everybody use the same brand of toaster? Does everybody drink the same brand coffee?

I agree. What is this obsesion with dominating markets? Arnt these journalists and anylists capable of forseeing a market in which different companies and products co-exist, side by side?
Does everybody use the same Operating System?????
Oh. Nevermind.
