>Why doesn’t Apple get the hate

Because Apple News isn't an effective defacto monopoly in huge spaces like "web search" and "browsers". AMP content gets forced on, for example, Android owners, and it's difficult to avoid. And it was forced on publishers when the net effect of not using it was reduced organic traffic...that's how you got shite stuff like Reddit AMP pages.

Apple News has a monopoly on built in news reader on iOS, plus various promotion vehicles within it, so I think the analogy is close.
Apple does get hate for areas that are large, like the app store.
