Despite the ghost of Godwin's law, it's worth pointing out that your reasoning works almost as well, with only minor changes, if you replace "Apple and Google" with the Nazi party.

Someone can do good stuff and still be evil to the bone.

(No, I'm not implying Apple or Google are anywhere in the same ballpark as the nazis; for that matter, I don't Apple or Google are evil, even if there are practices I disagree with)

I don't think it's possible to be as successful and big as Google and Apple and not do practices that some people will disagree with, I mean when their actions affect billions of people, it's obvious that it is simply impossible not to anger anyone. In fact, the only way not to offend anyone in business is probably by not doing any business at all.
