That was a hilariously tone-deaf incident, but it's hardly comparable. Google pushed ads. Apple gave you a free album.

Yes, but a _U2_ album. An ad is 30 seconds of irritation, but a U2 album is like having broken glass sown under your skin.

For people with no other albums, Carplay was playing that U2 album automatically when they enter their car. So some people were forced to listen to it :-)
