You are entirely correct, if somewhat slow
in reaching the conclusion.  As I posted to
t.b on May 13th:

------------------------------------------------------------
I've finally understood Apple's Evil Plan.  It's all
clear to me now.  System 7 is just the latest evil ploy
in this grand evil plan.

You see, I've decided that Apple's evil plan is to turn
people into ravingly enthusiastic Macintosh fanatics.
These fanatics will then roam the streets grabbing strangers
by the throat and forcing them to buy Macintoshes.  The
fanatics will smash PCs and burn Windows 3.0 disks. They
will smile condescendingly at Amigas and laugh uproariously
at X windows.  They will convert everyone they meet into
new Macintosh fanatics.

I am one.  It happened to me.  I installed System 7 today.
I joined the file of stripey-fruit lemmings in their mass
trek toward the auditorium where the muscular woman throws
a hammer into the screen, over and over.  My mantra is now:

        System 7 is insanely great.
        System 7 is insanely great.
        System 7 is insanely great.

What does Apple plan to do once it has turned the whole
world into smiling happy point-and-click Macintosh zombies
in seven-color logo clothing?  I don't know.  But I sit in
a cafe drinking cheap gin, awaiting my fate happily.
I love Big Apple.

Learn to recognize Apple agents. These typically have a head bit that
is called a scullycephalon, a middle segmented thorax bit, and a tail
bit that is called a pygidium. They are benthic and vagile, and probably
occupy many roles in the food chain, INCLUDING DEVOURING OUR CHILDREN!
THEY MUST BE STOPPED AT ALL COSTS!
