A case could be made that Apple and FSF are on the same page there. Apple’s revenues from software sales pale in comparison to its total revenue. Apple makes software in order to sell more hardware, that’s why they make so little software for other platforms. Apple either gives its software away or it sells it for way less than similar products by competitors. Today, Apple announced it will start giving its iLife and iWork apps away for free with all new iOS devices. Currently, Apple sells its OS X upgrades for $20 and it’s not unthinkable that they will start it giving it away, as they already do with iOS upgrades. Other examples are Apple’s Pro apps. It would acquire those apps from other companies and then discontinue the versions for other platforms while slashing the prices for OS X.
