What people are trying to do discuss is how the current system is flawed and facilitates such things that hamper consumer choice in the market and gives companies virtual monopolies over very broad IP concepts by patenting broad concepts.

I think that's an argument that rests more in peoples views on what dries the market, and I don't know that there's a right or wrong answer there. Strong protections can push companies to innovate as they know they will be able to reap the rewards of their investment. They can also stifle competition. Both are legitimate arguments.
I only took issue with the ridiculous comparisons and the insinuations that somehow Apple should be taken to task for doing what any competent company would do.
