They don’t- it’s the FSF restricting developers freedom. Not Apple.

How? I'll debate FSF ethics as much as the next guy, but they clearly state they want end user freedoms such as the freedom to modify the application you use. Apple clearly doesn't want that if you use specific GPL versions.

This is an Apple problem, not FSF.

End user freedoms but not freedoms for the person who actually creates the code.
