I agree with your comment, but I think it is naïve to assume that Apple does PR by happenstance. Effective marketing/messaging is the bedrock of their business strategy.

So yes they probably did this primarily for raw profit/power reasons, but the positive PR is a close secondary.

It's not happenstance. They planned this action. But, "A broken clock is right twice a day" applies here.
