If they stopped "being a business", why didn't they give away battery packs rather than sell them? Why didn't they also let other people sleep inside the store, rather than have them stay outside?

Taustin's post explained things very well: Apple did not lose out by doing what they did, and they actually gained. That doesn't detract from what they did being a nice gesture, but it doesn't mean that the gesture was purely altruistic.
