Who do you think financed this? Apple consumers and investors (I am one) that's who, not taxpayers. Why should it be open to the public? If it were a government project it would still be under construction for the next 10 years.

Or, in reality, Apple bought the real-estate, and pumped hundreds of millions (actually I just looked it up, it is billions with a B) of dollars into the economy and put scores of construction, engineers, and high skilled people to work building it. This isn't soviet Russia comrade.
