- snowwrestler 5y agoNo, Apple has a tiny lobbying operation and does not do corporate PAC contributions at all. The real explanation is that Apple makes computers so they can legally control software however they want. When Microsoft got in trouble in the 1990s, they did not make computers, they were only a supplier. So they got in trouble for interfering with other suppliers. This is one reason Microsoft now makes and sells computers directly to consumers.
