Apple doesn't make any kind of necessity. Every single one of their products is completely optional in life and has alternatives.

If people are willing to pay for it, whatever. It's a luxury. It's not medicine or housing.

    You could even argue because no one needs to buy any of their stuff, it could be a good thing, because you could tax those extra profits and put it towards subsidising something everyone needs.

    Oh wait we live in this world. My bad everyone.
