Nothing, except for the fact that people hate managing passwords with a passion and take the risk for their accounts willingly (I've had the heated table discussions to prove it). For them it's all about the tradeoff between "how much energy must I invest?" and "how much do I care if I lose this account?".
Most of the people I knew only enabled 2FA on their Gmail because they really couldn't afford to lose it. Everything else they were very meh about. They even had 000000 as their online banking PIN... <facepalm>
Password managers only started gaining prominence after biometric authentication allowed you to access your passwords with your finger or face.
So yeah, celebrities are users like all others -- if not slightly worse even.
I am pretty sure every corp like Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft et. al. would love to enforce maximum security but they also have to be very careful not to alienate their users. One good example is Google who will pester you for 2FA and recovery codes but never truly force you; they prefer to ban your account for suspicious activity instead (happened to one guy I knew some 3-4 years ago because his drunk friends tried to breach his Gmail account from several different phones).
So I get it, you don't like Apple, but as I have snarkily remarked above: it's for the wrong reasons. (I don't like them either but it's for completely other reasons.)
