How is removing a city from a map a some sort of sign that apple did it for malicious reasons?

Given the context, how it is not? These are not some random place on the map that have disappeared.

I'm sure Apple doesn't see it as malicious, and that's precisely the issue. Apple's political grandstanding has forced them into awkward and contradictory positions.
