The answer to your question is that corporations are amoral beings. Note: I'm not saying they are evil, and I am not saying that some corporations aren't run by very moral and good executives.
All that matters to a company is the bottom line, profits, keeping shareholders happy. So what if Apple sued them? That matter was before the courts and was (or will be -can't remember if it's over and done with) dealt with accordingly. Doesn't mean they should stop making money from on of their biggest clients, does it? This is a simple ongoing commodity transaction that is completely divorced from the intellectual property departments duking it out. Life goes on...
