like they didn't have an option of not doing business there.
Technically speaking, they have the option. Practically speaking, they do not have an option.
I don't see why not. Plenty of other organizations work that way. Why can't Apple?
Apple’s a publicly-held company, and China is among the largest markets for consumer electronics. Apple’s shareholders wouldn’t be too pleased if Apple simply said “nah” to such a market, and Apple’s obligations are ultimately to its shareholders.
The situation might be different if Apple was a different kind of company, but it is what it is.
