This is the one statement I think could be modified - Apple doesn't care about about integrating with KDE, and thus lost the opportunity to keep reaping the benefits that the KDE guys could have provided on going. I'd like to think that the companies that try harder to work with the existing community will do better in the long term - spending some of their resources on things they didn't care about would return them effort by others on things they do care about. There's nothing illegal or immoral about it - it's just short sighted to believe that the code was worth taking, but the coders weren't worth the effort required (in a direction they didn't care about) to keep them on board.
