The profit maximization puzzle usually involves tax minimization. Just because startups typically ignore it doesn't mean it doesn't have value.
I guess you're right. I usually dislike such topics, but I have kind of a soft spot for Apple (not as a company, but as what they supposedly stand for: simplicity, unification of hardware and software, trying to deliver an experience rather than a product) and find these stories interesting.
But you're right: HN is not the place for such discussions. I'll refrain from posting anything like this again.

It's not an fascinating moral issue, and it's not illegal. I could not care less.
