Is Apple doing this because they are nice or as public relations stunt? 15 Million is really something. Many people seem to ask of public companies and rich people to give back to the community. I think if they paid their taxes they already did their give back. Now its up to the gov. to use that "give back" however they see fit. Build yet another nuclear bomb or deal with the COVID-19 situation.
 
What doe that make the rest of the world... chop liver ?
Not at all. The rest of the companies in the rest of the world can also help out too. Just like Apple did.

Or do you think Apple is the only company that can / should help out, and all the other companies don't need to try?

Just because Apple, in this case, helped out in the US does not mean the rest of the world is less valuable. Not to Apple, and not to others. It just means that in this case Apple, a US company, helped out in the US.

It doesn't matter. Real people have a positive benefit from the money, whether it was genuine concern or virtue signalling.
