I mean, it would look pretty dumb if the logo was upside down while the product was in use. Particularly to appease the person who can't even see the logo while they're using the product.

Who cares how other people see it? This always messes me up to. I want to place it down with the logo correctly orientated for _me_, the owner of the device.

Like you said, once I flip it up and its wrong, I won't be able to see it as I'm using the product.

I care. Used to have a ThinkPad and thought it's super dumb that's it's upside down all the time.
Then you care more about how other's see you using a product than your own experience. That's fine.
It's not like I experience the logo on my laptop that much. I experience others' much more. I think I do care about my experience... Seeing all the upside down apples would be irritating.
If Apple can put fake eyes on the outside of a VR headset, they can probably put a magically rotating apple logo on the lid.
