But what of the chilling effects on Apple’s hiring? Do we really want to start turf wars where companies can essentially reenact anti-poaching laws and the associated depression in mobility but spin it as being principled?

I'd worry more about wages dropping due to WFH and creation of a "pay-adjusted" distributed workforce.

I'd also worry about the monopolistic behavior of the incumbents making it harder for challengers to succeed, creating less diversity in work or employment.

Principled stands won't happen. Profits matter, not morals or ethics. It's better for them to maximize the workforce pool and keep them fungible.
