Please don't accuse anyone who disagrees with you of being an apologist; it's not a productive line of conversation. That said, you're right that Apple doesn't like it when people ignore terms and conditions that they agree to wrt. prereleases. In an ideal world, nobody would care what we did with devices. But it's not like they're the only company doing it, and the terms are pretty clear. I take more objection to your belief that iOS releases break apps frequently. In my experience, apps that break between releases are typically relying on undocumented behaviour or not following best practices. There are exceptions, but again - in most cases, follow the rules and nothing bad happens :)
