Apple isn't a jobs scheme or a charity, and its primary purpose is not to keep engineers employed - I'm sure the organisation could have kept those 600 people if it wanted to!

Apple is not a charity but is one of the most impactful organizations in the planet and probably should think a little bit ahead of this. Im sure they have enough smart people to find some way of working this around other than making the stakeholders happy.
