Private property, of which corporations reside within and servers consist of, are not equivalent to an event in a public square, either.
Apple is not the only company of its kind on Planet Earth.
Whether it's Twitter, Hacker News, Reddit, Slashdot or your 10 user niche hobby forum, none of the people who own the private servers that each of those venues reside on are required to host your words.
That is the part that you're missing when you misinterpret the private party metaphor.

When our national governments required contact tracing software to deal with the pandemic, it was Apple and Google that could block democratic government from protecting it's people. This has massive implications for liberty, economy and national security. The private party metaphor is simply delusional.
