I own a few Apple products and a few non-Apple products, myself.
Agreed. Apple makes a product- a damn fine one for the most part. As long as it works well I love it. It's no different than my adoration for any product that works well for me whether it be a car, dishwasher or a pair of jeans.

Now if you want to talk about the people who line up for days on end to get one of their products ahead of anyone else? Is that really any worse than the people who insist on seeing movie releases at 12:01AM on Friday mornings? It's their way of geeking out- no different than anyone else who enjoys their hobby.

And if Apple does open a store downtown I'd be there shopping too. I'd go there out of convenience more than anything else.
