There is more than one definition of "evil" - in one case it means "harmful or injurious" and this is what I think most people mean when they say Apple is "evil", not that they really think there are people inside of Apple thinking about how they can deliberately screw developers over in some amoral way. Apple is definitely acting by this form of "evil" towards developers by harming their ability to serve the customer, and because developers feel unjustly harmed, developers feel they are justified in using this strong language.
