I thought the whole "Do you like making your own choices" -> "Yes" -> "Then why are you using this flowchart?" was the funniest part, it actually made me laugh out loud.

There's a bit of a Mac stereotype that people will buy whatever Apple puts out even if it is inferior in some ways, and to a degree it is true, Apple's products (early ones) often have limitations.. or for a while their computers were seriously underpowered for example.

The limitations are often outweighed by the benefits for most people, but the whole point of poking fun at stereotypes is to characterize them and ignore the good reasons!
