It is ironic... Even more so considering their 1984 ad. Consider that they are now in a position to ban programs from running on their devices at all. All of these types of issues would evaporate if they were not in that position: banning programs over concern of public image (can't be even tangentially associated with drugs), irreconcilable political differences between countries (can't block criticism of a dictatorship without being undemocratic)... this is why anything resembling an app store should be federated, and the ability to install individual programs at will of the user should never be suppressed. But selling the most expensive and high profit electronics on the planet was not enough.
