Well hang on, making human life multi-planetary is extremely valuable, if not essential for our future survival. And we can use technology to make Mars hospitable.

Yes, but Apple is very unlikely to achieve that, as not only it doesn't only take money, but all the money on the earth wouldn't be able to achieve that with current tech (or even next-decades tech...)
We should instead concentrate on mitigating the ongoing collapse of our civilization, so that the next one might get a shot at that ! (And Apple is not likely to help here, on the opposite, they are too invested in kicking the can, which makes things worse.)
