His arguments seem a lot more objective and less emotional than most
that one hears on USENET.

All large companies tend to commit certain abuses at some point in
their lifecycles, but contrary to widely held misconceptions, in the
greater scheme of things their abuses rarely make much of a dent in
their success or anyone else's failure. In order to do such things to
begin with, they need to have a dominant position, and if they have a
dominant position, doing bad things doesn't make it much more
dominant. And if they are poorly managed overall, they will go down
with or without abuses, as unethical practices alone will not save a
company that is fundamentally incompetently managed.

This has been proven again and again historically.
