Ignoring the impossibility of a publicly-held company "hating" things, if Apple "hated" iOS jailbreaking/hacking, there'd be members of the teams that develop the techniques and capabilities in court just like geohot. The iTunes cracking restrictions are probably related to their contracts with providers selling stuff on the iTunes store.
