> Apple can easily afford to simply exit all business in the UK.

Apple has shareholders, so no it can't (or more precisely, Tim Cook can't).

Google had shareholders in 2005 too or thereabouts when they publicly decided to abandon the Chinese search market for soft, fuzzy reasons (i.e., not because they were losing money on Chinese operations).

And as far as I know, they're still absent from the Chinese search market.
