Apple is as tight-lipped as a smoker getting his last cough from a butt,
so don't hold your breath waiting for an official statement
not that it's clear there's anything solid to reply to -- what is there
to support the leap from an excuse supposedly given by employees in
Apple Stores to a corporate policy?
Another demonstration of Lord Acton's dictum in operation ... or as it
was put so succinctly in my youth, "We're the phone company, we can do
what we want."

It's just more sloppy use of language. Americans are quite good at that,
although perhaps not so good as some:
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in a rather a scornful tone, "it
means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less."
