Let me approach your points in a more concise and slightly less troll-like manor:
I can afford one but I choose not to spend the money on it simply because the value proposition is pure insanity.
I am not bitter at all. I find that the rapid decline into consumerism that Apple promotes is disturbing, especially when they are trend-setters. I need to stand up for what is right now so in 5 years time, all vendors aren't producing such hardware.
Apple don't think about how to recycle these machines at all - they don't care at all and never will do unless it's good marketing (which is is since Greenpeace kicked off at them that is). They send you a label to stick to it - that is all. That will send it to a 3rd party who have paid Apple a lot of money to be the "preferred recycler".
Life's never too short to promote an opinion. After all that's all we are.
