That’s the problem, it’s not a few bad apples

The whole "a few bad apples" excuse ignores the rest of the saying. In its entirety it says "A few bad apples spoil the whole bushel."

(This is because as apples rot they release ethylene gas, which causes the rest of the apples to ripen more quickly and then start rotting.)
