Your assertion that writers have some write to demand a retailer hawk their particular wares is silly. Of course Apple has a right to determine to not sell things it doesn't want to.

Trying to make Apple's exercising that basic right of all thinking creatures into a crime doesn't say anything at all bad about Apple.

It is like a child who hasn't been given a toy she want's shouting out that her parents hate her. It is just a tantrum.
Censorship is the process of suppressing or deleting something that's the censor considers objectional. Just because you agree with Apple's actions doesn't make their actions not censorship. I'm not the one that's saying that's a crime, you're the one doing that.

Censoring is perfectly valid and fine with me in a few cases - ie, a parent censoring the material that their child will read.
