Pretty much.
The premise is that the BPHs spend a good chunk of change lobbying and got settlement terms they can grudgingly live with--basically a slap on the wrist--and even got a bone tossed in, forbidding Amazon from doing something they've never done anyway.
Apple didn't grease palms and nobody in Congress tried to defend them the way Schumer tried to defend the BPHs.
Lost in that analysis is that as a repeat conspirator Apple isn't going to get anybody to stick their neck out for them, no matter how much palm grease they dispense.
