Correct in parts: People can only use what they know about. I never
purchased SoundJam (and probably never would have). Apple gives me iTunes
for free so I am happy.
But I don't "conveniently ignore third parties": I only ignore them when it
is convenient to do so: Often it is inconvenient to ignore third parties.
For instance, Apple's OS9 Text Edit application sucks. It is absolute junk.
But I love Tex-Edit and Pepper, and tell everyone I can about them. (Simple
Text under OSX has been _purposely_ crippled and I think that really sucks).
Similarly, Apple's Script Editor sucks, and I tell everyone to buy Script
Debugger.
