I really disagree, the piece is mostly a list of tangible data. One could cut out any supported statement and it would be almost the same length. The authors seem to me to be avoiding any sort of relative arguments as much as possible. Your response by contrast is dominated by catastrophic thinking

There is no catastrophic thinking in my response. It’s completely reasonable to consider the cases that interventions would make things worse, and there are plenty of models for that. I’m actually not against intervention - only intervention based on singling out Apple, or unjustified assumptions. This is why pieces which rely on sarcasm, and as I point out but you neglect, ad-hominem, are likely to lead to an ill-thought out solution. The piece is bad, even if some of the points it makes are worth examining, because the piece is aimed at discouraging that examination.
