Second, a cynic might argue that Apple put up a noisy, principled fight that one time precisely to create the perception that you have here.

Or the two came to a mutually beneficial understanding: "don't come in the front door waving a court order for the cameras and we'll see what we can do when our reputation isn't on the line, see? And maybe if we help out, that antitrust investigation isn't necessary after all!"
