This is slightly racist and totally wrong on many many points. Are American hardware companies better at software? Dell? HP? Vizio? Intel? AMD? Or European companies: Philips, Siemens? It's all the same. Even Apple has the abomination of iOS on their great HW..





> Are American hardware companies better at software? Dell? HP? Vizio? Intel? AMD?

Depends. If you're looking for consumer goods, they're just as dogshit as everyone else. Products intended for large commercial customers, particularly where support contracts are involved, tend to be actually decent.

> Or European companies: Philips, Siemens?

Never had an issue with Hue, never had an issue with Bosch-Siemens "white goods".

> Even Apple has the abomination of iOS on their great HW..

iOS certainly is not an abomination. I'm using both Android and iOS, and the latter is much more polished.
