You think that’s limited to capitalism?

Edit. Not sure why downvoted. But also, despite the controlled nature of the demo, didn’t apple kind of deliver on the marketing to an acceptable degree?

Also, think of the self proclaimed communist leaders projecting how they solve all society’s problems, or will do so, without any proof of concept.

No, it’s not limited to capitalism of course but it’s especially rewarded in capitalism. I did not downvote though, in fact I upvoted because your comment is fine to me and it’s a legitimate question.
