No, you don't understand it. Just because the government refuses to

under his direction, he could face criminal penalties as an
individual.

Apple did settle the fraud case against Tim Cook's statements
recently.
 
A settlement, despite what you think, is a loss because nobody
settles who can win the case, and certainly not for half a billion
dollars per case.

Would I settle a case for that much? Certainly not.

But it's all about proportionality, isn't it?

Yup. Apple literally rakes in almost 1 million dollars every minute
(much to the chagrin of these trolls), with a 3-trillion-dollar market
value.
