Some people seem to see Apple with a halo around it, as though it were an entity serving some higher purpose of marrying artistic form to function and therefore exempt from criticism.

In fact it's one of the most ruthless, gouging, greedy organizations on the planet, built in the image of its founder (or the founder who didn't actually make the first Apple anyway).
