An Open Letter to Intel
Does this argument have a name?
"If I didn't do [SOME HORRIBLE THING X], someone else would, so I might as well do it myself?"
When googling, I only found this:

Bad phrasing. The argument is more like "If [this awesome thing X] wasn't available, people would have to find a maybe-less-than-desirable alternative." The name for it is practicality.
