From what I've seen of the Apple community, they seem to have a fairly easy time swallowing the not-so-savory things Apple does, with reasoning like "they need to maintain the user experience" or "they're a corporation, tuey need to make money for their shareholders, expecting better would be naive" or "screw that, who cares, there's nothing we can do, look at my sexy Mac". Probably the last reason is the most honest, since the former is to some extent BS, and the second is a sort of "well done genius, you've spotted one of the major problems in Western society" moment. I haven't seen anything of the culture inside Apple that would suggest its employees to be any less dismissive of Apple's forays into "asshole corporation" territory. Especially considering that they're largely recruited from exactly this pool of Apple users.
