Don't know where "hate" and "Anti-Apple" is coming from. For sure, everything can have positive and negative consequences, it's rarely clear-cut. It's also not about taxing a specific company, taxes are used to discourage/incentivize certain movement in a market. If you (an individual) pay higher tax for using fossil fuels than renewable energy, you are incentivized to use renewable energy., If you have the option to tax-deduct your retirement plan, you are incentivized to invest in a retirement plan. In a just system, a FINE is ordered for breaking rules. I doubt that fining a company for i.e. anti-competitive behavior makes it "less rewarding" for small companies in the same space to grow. Moreover, those small companies were likely affected by those anti-competitive behaviors, as they were competitors.
