Apple doesn't have to recover it, as a cost to something they don't have any part in.

They could take a cut of housing sales too, for all the sense that makes. I can see them in front of congress now: "But Apple isn't making the billions we once did! We neeeeed this money!"

Apple sells $25 phones for $1000. That's their business. Trying to make their business, taking a cut of other people's business, is egregious.
