Well, Apple apparently spends a premium on people; especially those working in Silicon Valley. So, they'd be well within their rights to demand something in return. Like people actually coming to work. On the other hand, the reason they pay so much is that the market for people there is fiercely competitive and laying down the law might simply lead to them spending even more to keep people that otherwise might be poached away by competitors. And that of course happens to their best people first. You night look at this at an opportunity as well. Because why hire locally if your best people want to work from home anyway? Plenty of talent outside of California that can work remotely. Lots of companies are discovering that fully remote teams can work. There are some companies that never even had head offices.
