It could never be charitable because Apple is a publicly traded company and investors want returns.

People talk about companies the same way a hunter-gatherer applies animism to trees for example. Companies are not people, they can’t be cynic nor greedy they just are what they were created to be. Profit machines.

Apple is extremely good at being. High returns on invested capital, huge moat, etc...
