Here's the thing, we are all entitled to support whatever companies we want with our hard earned money, but it's seems like you are looking down your nose at a smaller company who is just trying to be competitive in the marketplace.
It's clear that Cliff over at Fractal is following his muse in terms of constantly refining and getting closer modeling sounds and processing capabilities (hence the constant updates and new hardware units) which has bled into his business philosophy and that's great. On the flipside, it's great that Line 6 has taken to heart the needs of the everyday musician who says "I wan't the benefits of Digital modeling, but I wan't it to be intuitive, inclusive, improve my workflow no matter what situation and still have great tone. Fractal knows that it can be unique by offering the kitchen sink of amp models, processing power, programmability etc. I don't want them to try and be Line 6, or vice versa.
Neither philosophy is wrong. If anything, it's to the benefits of both companies that every now and then they can look over the fence and say "huh, that's actually a pretty neat idea".
