I think that this attitude is true for many technology companies. What makes Apple more criticized is the fact that at least 2 of their product lines - personal computers, and ios devices, are directly related to standards, infrastructures, and resources that are basic, mass used and supposed to be public and open.
Your Porsche analogy is awkward. Computer vs car industry analogies generally goes like “If GM had kept up with the technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.”,
and i don't see a reason for this to change anytime soon, for obvious reasons (computer software and hardware are much easier to update and innovate then mechanical systems are).
