Apple hardware is all proprietary, and manufacture is controlled by one
company - Apple. There aren't even any licensed clone system manufacturers
anymore; Apple declined to renew the licensing deals.
So by using Apple you are in no way "free from a standard controlled by a
single entity", as the main hardware (and accompanying firmware, I believe)
can only be built by/purchased from Apple.
