No, blame Apple. And the other companies exploiting these laws. Companies can choose to be good citizens and socially responsible. Apple doesn't need to be environmentally friendly - it chooses to. $14.5bn is a drop in the ocean of their $200bn cash stockpile that they can't even use, they can easily pay this. It's not going to hurt their ability to compete even if everyone else is doing it.
