Depends on the size of the market, of course. Apple is trying to tell the British public to correct their laws so they don't need to make difficult decisions, or even worse, spend money customising their software for the UK market.
Apple doesn't have a problem with following the Chinese laws and have set up an entirely separate network for their iCloud backups. Of course they'll make more in China yhan they'll make in the UK, but its clear that Apple is willing to comply with the law if a large enough part of their bottom line is at stake.

When a Chinese Citizen is executed for political dissent as a direct result of American CEOs rolling over to get markets share in a hostile hellhole They should be put on trial like the French concrete firm who was dealing with ISIS

When we prioritize the economy, we create insane double-standards that encourage corrupt lawmaking and endless lobbying. If we don't take these problems seriously at-home, nobody does, and then we get Foxconn suicide nets and nightmarish international dependencies.
