 See if you can figure the rest out on your own.

 You don’t think Apple wants all the advertising exposure they can
get?  There is a very large audience on X they can tap into.

 Sure they do.
 But if that's the case, why do you think they pulled their
advertising in the first place?
 And while you're thinking about that:
 Do you think they'd be advertising on X again...
 ...if Biden had won the election?

 Apple withdrew their advertising on X because everyone else was doing
it and they had to follow suit or be ridiculed and boycotted.  Just
like any politician or conglomerate, they wet their finger and hold it
up to see which way the wind is blowing.  They are doing the same now.

Yep. Same with Disney and the silly Politically Correct warnings they put in front of their old movies, and are now removing again.
It's one of the biggest problems with Tim Cook - he keeps using his position at Apple to publicise his own political beliefs. Businesses must be neutral and  stay out of politics, and the management shouldn't drag the business into their personal opinions.
