 Why do you think Apple felt the need to do it? Was it because it might
hurt its share price? Hurt its sales? No particular reason at all? None of
the above?

As above, to appease the Politically Correct whiners.
Similarly, they've stopped now putting the free Apple stickers in the device boxes to appease the eco-police.
Pretty much everything businesses and governments do these days is about appeasing the few loudmouthed whining idiots.
