I don't fully understand the hypocrisy here when they acknowledged their mistake (or at least in the article, moreso a risk they chose to take) and are living with the consequences.
I don't see any contrition on their part. They're trying to have it both ways – the tone of the article is clearly engineered to raise the heckles of people who are sympathetic to the "Apple is authoritarian" meme without explicitly saying so.
"In the meantime, we will continue to support our Android app" they say. Not subtle at all.
