It's a wonder that Apple is still a primarily American corporation at all. Really big companies like Accenture are multinational corporations, generally incorporated in a tax haven with decent legal standing and running its HQ in the US as a domestic subsidiary.

Apple isn't even a Delaware corporation, as maybe 99% of publicly-traded companies are, but is still a California corporation after all these years.

Maybe the "California corporation" ethos is a part of their brand image. Some people may associate the "Deleware corporation" designation with scheming and untrustworthy businesses.

They seem to take pride in U.S. provenance:

"Designed by Apple in California

Assembled in China"
