Moreover, it's largely irrelevant - the topic of the article was using a keyboard without having to drag around a laptop/desktop. If someone replied to a text on their MacBook, they'd have broken that constraint
I honestly do not understand why people get weirdly defensive about stuff like this. Guy offhanded commented on some Mac friends and weird other platform users have to get angry and huffy.
The "topic of the article" was that a guy realized that a bluetooth keyboard makes it nicer typing things on his phone. Nowhere did he talking about "without having to drag around" anything, and he incidentally mentioned that he didn't bring a computer.
It is utterly bizarre that people get unhinged and mad that he mentioned Macs. But let's be real - for Mac users, integration with messages is free and automatic. For other platforms it simply isn't, and the vast majority of time isn't used at all. If someone is messaging from a computer (on iMessages, SMS, MMS, and now RCS), 99% of the time it's going to be a guy sitting at a Mac just as a lubrication of use.
So the next time some random tosser article doesn't mention your pet love, maybe just move on?
