All an opinion obviously, and I get the argument against it.
Sure, I'm with you. I just don't think buying a product is enough to consider myself a part of the team. Similarly, if I buy an iPhone, I do not refer to Apple as "we", even though Apple relies on my consumer support to continue making products. "We" are not launching the Apple Watch.

And yeah, I don't have a particularly strong opinion or anything, this is just why I don't do what I don't do. No offense to anyone who wants to use "we" when describing any sports team they cheer for.
