Do execs/workers in any car company only drive their own brand cars? Doubt it.
This is no different

Yes, they are generally encouraged to. Not using your companies products looks bad. Not sure why people don't "get" that.

Case in point... This guy is now a huge news story. And the story is being spun not as "what a great and honest guy!" but rather "wow... Samsung sucks so much that even their EXECS dont use their shit!"

So blame human nature for it. 90% of people who read that will say "wow... even the SAMSUNG GUY uses Apple!" and translate that as "Samsung sucks"

Would be the same if Steve Jobs had an Android phone.

Until people collectively decide to stop being pathetic and petty and judgmental, then this will be an issue.

My guess is that, especially as an exec, this guy just ended his career. For execs don't drive Corvettes. You can bet on that one.
