Makes perfect sense considering that Microsoft is the majority stakeholder in Apple.

That would be "no". Microsoft owns no part of Apple - they've long since sold off all the stock.

Sorry, that is false. Microsoft has never held a majority interest in Apple, nor even a voting interest. Microsoft did have approximately 150 Million dollars worth of Apple preferred stock at one time (an investment required by a court settlement which Apple won a a settlement against Microsoft) but that has long since been sold.

Now, if you specifically mean "Stake"holder rather than "Stock"holder, meaning they have a non-financial interest in Apple's survival because Apple is their main research division, seeing how they somehow "borrow" everything Apple develops... then you might have a point.
