By your logic all witnessable acts of good must be viewed with suspicion. I don't disagree, but it's a hard way to approach the world.

Suspicion that they may be profitable? I think you have missed the point. The assertion in question is that Apple is losing money by hosting this tribute. It may be the case that Apple will instead make money. A critique regarding the philosophy of altruism seems a little premature...

The intent of my message was not to state that all witnessable acts of good must be viewed with suspicion. Rather, my goal was to express how acts of good could also be in one's (or in this case a companies) self-interest. I commend what apple did with their homepage.
