Um. I rely heavily on Apple products, and I subscribe to some of their services for a couple bucks a month because I genuinely get a lot of enjoyment out of them. I find Apple's upsell mildly annoying, sure. But (a) the things they offer me are actually things I would seriously consider buying, (b) their ads appear when you actively seek out a feature you haven't subscribed to, (c) the buttons or headlines or whatever that lead to those ads have a marker so you know what'll happen when you tap. It's not like I'm getting blindsided by interstitials. I have zero inclination to apologize for Apple doing stupid things. But I'm just not nearly so annoyed by their ads as I am by others'.
