Flashback: From 2005 to 2009 Apple was running an illegal wage fixing scheme and using threats of demolishing competitors with patent infringement lawsuits when they stated they didn't want to participate because the scheme was illegal. Apple eventually had to pay out in a settlement a tiny fraction of what they stole from employees, so there is little incentive to engage in other blatantly illegal acts against their employees-- much less in activities which are arguably just inside the line of legally permitted.
