The CC networks are known cave to political pressure to shut down certain merchants. Apple is likely no better or worse here.

Why would we assume Apple would be no worse. Apple has a track record of disallowing all kinds of media that credit card companies have much less issue with. You're generally free to buy all kinds of things with your credit card that Apple disallows in their various terms of service.

Apple is not offering merchant services, so I don't see the relevance?

Apple will be piggybacking off of MasterCard's network.
