The corollary is that advertising on X is now profitable for Apple. Which is useful information.

Of course companies put money before political ideology, as a public company, it can be considered an obligation to their shareholders. The part that matters is that their customers may have political ideologies, and it is important for a company to match the ideologies of the customers who make them the most money, at least in appearance.

My uniformed guess is that this is profitable to Apple in the same way that money spent on lobbyists is profitable.

Yeah, bribing your industry's top regulator seems highly likely to have a positive ROI.
