Meanwhile the people who are making iPhone are working in abhorrent conditions. [1] Apple has huge margins and is hording ridiculous amounts of cash. There is zero reasons for this. Shame on all of us for letting this go on.

I think a key issue here is making it about Apple gets press. It doesn't matter if others are worse, articles about them don't get press.
