CUPS is the closest where you could accuse Apple of doing that I guess.

  ... and in the CUPS case I could see it more of a situation where they wanted good printing support, saw that unix printing was a horrible mess, but that CUPS had promise, decided to bring it in-house in order to make it work well on macOS, and then after that was done, stopped really caring about it all that much. Because printing is just so unsexy in general, and tends to get neglected everywhere.

  Put another way: "Apple pays project leader Bay Area salary + pre-iPhone AAPL stock to support open source development for more than a decade." (There are certainly more projects Apple relies on that deserve this!) Most of Apple's extinguished open source projects are ones they started themselves and then abandoned.
