Yes, because they were an integral part of the conspiracy to run up the prices you paid for e-books
everywhere—the ringleader, in fact—and they have to pay more because they opted to drag the affair out by going to trial instead of settling the way the publishers did. Being willful leads to additional punishment.

I don't like Apple as a company, or a business model, or a philosophy, or a walled garden and I don't buy their stuff; and I don't want their money. But I'll take it only because I don't know how to not.

If you wanted to not, you had 'til October, 2014 to opt out of participating in the settlement. Unfortunately, that deadline's already gone by.
