Literally not worth arguing with a person that believes this. These kinds of beliefs aren't rooted in logic or reality so you're not going to change their mind.
"Adding EV chargers to gas stations" is the missing EV network everyone keeps talking about. That and starting to add them to things like roadside restaurants like Denny's or Cracker Barrel - spend at least $50 on food to get your charging validated!
Sony has always been pretty anti consumer. I'm addition to the root kit thing, they have a history of pushing their own propietary crap as open standards. Sometimes successfully (blu ray) and sometimes not (memory stick). They also removed the "other OS" (Linux) option from the PS3 midway through the console's life cycle.
I'm sure there's more examples, but they've been a bottom tier brand for a long time due to this for me.
They also had hundreds of years of military dominance of Europe, up until the Napoleonic Wars. Generally not so hot since then. I definitely don't think it's a completely deserved rep, but it undeniably exists.
Think of it like an onion. You're probably not going to enjoy just chowing down on one.
