There is this incoherence regarding some appeals to Ayn Rand.
She would have supported Apple charging whatever it wanted for its proprietary “steel”.
She would not have supported Apple limiting what others could do with it, such as stopping others from competing with its other products and services, or requiring cuts of downstream revenues only tangentially or unrelated to the use of its particular steel.
That would have been the “takers” in Apple, riding on the back and warping a previously moral business.
