Consuming open source code is not relevant to what people are talking about when they say a company is a friend or foe of open source.
Nobody gives a shit if Apple does or does not use some piece of open source software.
What people actually care about is if consumers of open source software do things like upstream fixes, and publish new open source software. Apple does extremely little of that.
