>The announcement uses the word investment 17 times. Reading that as a charity pitch requires a few logical leaps.

Again, a non-sequitur. Even if they read "investment" as "tea party" 17 times, they still never said or implied that it was useless.

The Apple article is obviously trying to paint the investments as acts of goodwill. Not many people would expect anything else, it's just good PR. "Charity" might be an exaggeration, but can't you see why it could rub people the wrong way?
