It's just the truth that Apple constantly gets penalized for their
unethical business plan where the latest fraud penalty is not to be the
last since fraud is part of Apple's money-making strategy (as with Trump).
The problem I see with Apple is that unethical illegal behavior, much like
it is with Trump, is ingrained into Apple's (& Trump's) business plan. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/apple-investors-reach-490-million-settlement-over-fraud-case-1.2047389
Google too. https://www.securityweek.com/in-other-news-350-million-google-settlement-ai-powered-fraud-cybersecurity-funding/
It's harder to find Apple & Google unethical behavior in Microsoft lawsuit settlements, and the amounts are far lower in general.

I don't know what to make of the fact Microsoft doesn't lose anywhere near
the criminal lawsuits that Apple and Google have recently lost.
Does it mean only Apple & Google are unethical? No. But from the cases that Apple & Google lose, it's clear both are unethical.
The sickos tell us Apple loses fraud cases because "they're out to get
Apple", as if Trump's same argument works on anyone other than sickos.
What makes these threads last forever are the sickos like Alan Browne, Alan
Baker, Jolly Roger, Your Name, Haemactylus, and others truly believe that
Apple constantly and repetitively settling huge criminal lawsuits for
Apple's unethical behavior - means - to them - that Apple is ethical.
As with Trump, these sickos truly believe the law is out to get Apple.
If you can understand the thought process of those sickos, let me in on it.
