But in reality capitalism does coexist alongside other value systems, no?

Purdue Pharma (opiates) is a good example of a company following its incentives that eventually was brought down for violating broader common sense values.

The values Apple are violating come close to being just as widely held ("something I buy should be mine") though perhaps you need some expertise or professional experience with tech to see the violation clearly enough to be as horrified.

Still, values held within communities of experts (like this one) can also have the power to correct incentive-chasing behavior when it runs amok, if only because sufficient misbehavior can make it harder to hire and retain the best experts. So it's wonderful this conversation is happening here!

Comparing a walled garden to opiate proliferation is certainly a choice.
