> they aren’t doing anything bad here

By making this problem last long they aren't doing anything useful either.

- Bad case, they never restore certificates to G/FB and they end up losing all their employees to Android, with likely ripple effects in their tech sphere of influence.

- Worst case, G/FB retaliate by removing their apps from iOS and it's all out war with everyone losing.

- Best case, they restore them tomorrow with some fanfare and handshakes, but thousands of smaller companies now have been reminded Apple may actually shut them down if they misbehave.
