I think the poster (with which I also agree), was talking about the moral implications.What Apple are essentially going out of their way, with no obligation, to supply chips so that the current customers aren't left high and dry. It is a good thing for them to do.
I fail to see how this is a bad thing, unless of course your only goal is profit and even then it is not exactly a great argument as this may lead to more customers in the future.
This seems to have gone right over your head.
I also, am saddened by the idea that Apple is going to be producing products that are used to kill people.
I am clinging to the hope that the DoD forced them to continue selling them (that's how it seems so far), that it's for a limited time only, and that they won't make any more or contribute to the product development in any way.
Someone made a good point about mine-sweeping, but the majority of these products will be used for killing people. No biggie for citizens of the USA I am sure, but for a lot of people this is something that is usually called "wrong."
At least that's what my Mum taught me.
