Apple cares about one group of people: its customers and their security. They are, in fact, the only company that does. As the family nerd, I dont ever need to support Apple devices. It's the only brand im going to recommend to them because they are security and customer satisfaction first.
The only people who are upset about Apples policies are people MAKING MONEY off the platform.
Do I feel bad for any of the business involved in this. No, because they are BUSINESS and dont require sympathy.
