"just business" is a tautology.
I feel this is exploitation. I believe not all "business" operates this way nor does it have to. The power-imbalance and difference in legal briefing of Apple vs Orange teams would be an ENORMOUS weakness for Orange.
"just business" to me, here, means monopoly power, since Apple has access to ALL the information that it wants - all the strategic negotiating insight that is available for a given (new) technology. Orange would not.
Orange would easily reasonably, predictably lose in this kind of discussion with Apple. Their innovation is captured by Apple with unequal compensation for Orange's shareholders. That is wrong, and not acceptable for a healthy economy in my view.
