Usually they are owned by arrogant f....s who no matter what you say, they will return with a cliche that they couldn't care less about open source or freedom, they can afford to have the best and their advisors tell them that is the best, and so they buy it. Any of their time wasted in anything less than the best costs them more than what the machine costs.
So rationalizing anything with them is a waste of time, and their wasted money couldn't really hurt our feelings.
