There's no enabling here in the usual sense of the word, they just made it cheaper. It'd be like a headline "copious butter enables little Tommy to eat vegetables". Apple could have repatriated that money at any time, and likely would have if they didn't know that they could hold out for a feckless Republican administration to give them a big tax holiday. Pretending otherwise is a fiction that supports repeated corporate tax rate reductions and encourages companies like Apple to make use of elaborate tax avoidance schemes.
