Through a combination of direct ownership and mutual funds, I own thousands of dollars of Apple stock, and would be materially harmed by a major drop in its price. I also own numerous Macs and iOS devices, and am indirectly harmed by Mac and iOS developers being unable to access code and information important to their work. The company I work for may also be harmed by this, as we engage in some iOS development (though I'm not directly involved in that these days). I find the explanation of massive, unrecoverable data loss plausible, and your insinuation inane.
