You're not paying attention to what I'm saying. This has absolutely nothing to do with Apple, they're just the ones who coined the term, it's about software design. You're interpreting this as meaning that the hardware must be locked down and that the software can't be flexible enough to accomodate different kinds of hardware. Of course it can, there's no reason why Linux-based OSs or Windows 8 couldn't be post-PC and still be as flexible as they are today.
Post-PC simply refers to a design paradigm where you design your software in a way that makes it as easy as possible and as nice as possible for your users to use it. And I agree that post-PC is a bad name to pin on it, but it's nice to actually have a term for it.
EDIT: And I don't own an Apple-product, nor do I have any plans to. Apple isn't taking any of my freedom because I'm not letting them. But that doesn't mean they can't be on to something, even if only partially.
