Taxis in many cities operate under the authority of a government institution [0], so it makes more sense that they have a duty to do business with the public.

Whereas one can often experience waiting for a Lyft/Uber where drivers repeatedly decline service after initially accepting.

This doesn't really have anything to do with licensing. There are laws that prohibit businesses from e.g. refusing customers on the basis of race or sex and it doesn't matter if you're a restaurant or a hardware store or a flower shop.

That's true, but is there any reason to believe Apple is acting in such a discriminatory fashion against a protected class of citizen?

This is a different set of laws, different set of protected things that you aren't allowed to discriminate or retaliate against.
