that's like saying "standard oil just sells hydrocarbon". Computing underpins virtually every aspect of the economy, almost all communication, the national infrastructure, increasingly the military, and the public debate.
The tech industry (of which Apple is the largest representative) is, and increasingly becoming even more, the second largest center of power within any modern nation. As evidenced by the fact that they can and have removed elected representatives (most of which I'm not a fan of to make that clear) from public debate.
