Is Apple supposed to be one of the kind and benevolent megacorporations?

[tempest_]

No public company can be "benevolent"

Apple still makes 10s of billions a year letting Google be the default search, they have a vested interest in maintaining that revenue.

Plus whatever "values" they have will go right out the window if the golden iphone shaped Goose ever stumbles.

Plus Apple and Anthropic appear to be collaborating [1].

I would assume basic functionality would be included but advanced functionality would require a subscription to Apple One (or whatever it's called now).

So I wouldn't describe them as kind and benevolent, more that they want to make products people will pay for.

To the degree that it matters, I believe Apple and Anthropic values are more in alignment than say, Apple and OpenAI.
