Someone asked higher ups whether they should start bullying Netflix. Next, Apple started trying to placate Netflix by fixing issues and making things possible that they wanted.

Doesn’t sound like bullying to me.

I think the main point here is not what happened in Netflix's particular case.

Has Apple behaved differently in other cases?

Maybe Apple realized Netflix is too big to bully?

Apple AirPods alone generate as much revenue as the whole of Netflix.

"Big" doesn't always mean revenue. In this case means eyeballs, market share, whether it's a leader in its niche (it is), public opinion, etc.

Netflix is huge.
