This is a great result. That being said, I wouldn't bet they did that just because they cared about you in a friendly way.


If it's not driven by ROI, it can only be empathy and «do the right thing»


Who said there is no ROI? Apple is no charity, they probably found another way to generate profit out of it (brand reputation, more sales, you name it). It might be better than previous situation, profit was generated in a terrible way. Still doesn't mean you owe them something nor they are being particularly "nice" with you.

If cutting it was a way to generate high profit, finance and shareholders would probably ask for this to be removed quickly. For instance, in the last vote they refused assessments on social and environmental issues.


You are so full of activism and the resulting hatered, it hurts to read. I hope you have something in your life that makes you feel cozy.


I'm really sorry if I hurt your feelings, that was not my intent. I don't think activism means what you think, I'm not involved in any of this and I'm not hating anyone.

I'm not hating Apple for this, they play the game the way it's supposed to be. Let's not be delusional about their intents, that could hurt you.


> Who said there is no ROI?

I did not because I don't know.
