I'm replying to a poster who implied that Apple should be obligated to provide the M2 SoC to competitors.



There is something to be said for it, though. Free markets exist only where they benefit consumers.


There is nothing to be said for it. If Apple is obligated to just give away the M2 to competitors, they wouldn't have invested to create the M2 in the beginning.


Apple could choose not to innovate, but where would that leave them?


Or they could innovate and not be able to use their innovation at all, if we used your rules.
