The only thing that is interesting to me is that you somehow have no idea how to mentally differentiate between a solo developer trying to find a way to be successful on their own, and the world's biggest company with cash reserves large enough to purchase entire countries. It's almost as if advice is naturally context dependent!

Apple didn't become to worlds biggest company with cash reserves large enough to purchase entire countries by missing out on opportunities to generate additional revenue.

Apple, much like the solo developer, is looking out for its best interests and what will help it continue to grow.

What shouldn’t be context dependent, in that way at least, is the law. It should apply equally to everyone and each company regardless of how successful they are.
