I'm sure it was nice viewing Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 with pride. It was probably wonderful being proud of Bill Gates trademarking the term "PDA" after hearing John Sculley use it in a talk. It's probably pretty flattering to see Google switching from designing Android as a blackberry clone to designing it as an iPhone clone.
To paraphrase a joke from the last depression: $5 and some pride gets you a nice cup of coffee at starbucks.
If you actually ever used a Xerox desktop of the era you'll see that Mac OS was markedly simpler to use than Xerox's UI, and had all kinds of improvements over it (overlapping windows, drag and drop, a menubar than benefited from Fitt's Law).
Everyone steals ideas, but simply coping is pathetic.

I'm sure it was nice viewing MacOS v1.0 with pride (if you worked at Xeroc PARC).
It's kleptomaniac turtles all the way down!
Ah, this tired old chestnut.
