Isn't Apple running that store for a reason? Maybe to sell something, I would imagine. They should be opposed to closing it for that reason.

Of course, that's assuming the main activity of a business is to make and sell things. Could be a wrong assumption.

But they run many others too not just that particular one store. Even closing and reopening a few stores in the region just to teach others “a lesson” could make “business sense”. They just have to find unrelated business reasons for to put on paper.

It is a wrong assumption. The only activity of a business is to turn a profit.

They can just spin up a new instance and destroy the old one. Legality aside…
