More to OP's points, Apple made legal filings. OpenAI is penning blog posts.
Apple does this to most any company that ends up with any of its former employees. It's basically expected. Apple is being the bully.
But it's extremely harmful when there isn't.
"Alice says murder is bad, while Bob says murder is a fun and healthy recreational activity. Trying to see validity in each point of view is a virtue, not a vice." See, it doesn't work.
In the case of Apple and OpenAI, since that's actually what we're talking about: why is it wrong to suggest that there may be validity to each other's points of view, especially given that we don't have all the facts?
