It won't be long now until the large multi-national corporation will be a kind of nation-state in its own right. Distributing assets all around the planet making them inaccesible to any single government is the ultimate defense against nationalization. Without that threat hanging over them, they begin to act like sovereign nations.
That is the dystopian future we will live in , Corporations replacing states. Everything will be private and own by corporations , like everything used to be owned by kings,royal families and the "blue blood".

Basically they are already doing that. The reason Apple is made the scapegoat here is probably
1) For publicity reasons, to make the public believe corporations are held accountable
2) To extort some lobbying money from Apple
