from the point of view of the GPL side of the aisle, yes agree they are evil. Shareholders who want returns are on the other side of the aisle, so to speak, and definitely see "risk" and "no" when it comes to anything close to GPL. OK no problem, except that the code that Apple Computer profits mightily with, substantially originates in the former.
recall the John Gilmore camp handing out "don't tread on me Apple" buttons 35 years ago.. it has been going on that long. Apple knows very well what they are doing.
