like they didn't have an option of not doing business there.
- ovao 9y agoTechnically speaking, they have the option. Practically speaking, they do not have an option.

Apple’s shareholders wouldn’t be too pleased if Apple simply said “nah” to such a market, and Apple’s obligations are ultimately to its shareholders. The situation might be different if Apple was a different kind of company, but it is what it is.
