I make this comment completely outside of the discussion on whether or not Apple was unfairly judged. It's just a odd statement, IMO, and that kind of exaggeration tends to make me more cynical about anything else Apple says. I hope it was a misquote by the reporter, rather than something Apple is actually trying to claim to be true.
I suspect that it is mild hyperbole, but when IBM and Microsoft were in the middle of their antitrust lawsuits, it restricted some of their planned marketing and development for fear that the DOJ would ask the court to shut them down.
