The Eurocrats want to tax the deep pockets to support their beloved Afro-Islamic rapefugees they have invited into Europe. Guess what, no one would give a shxt to a dying culture.
The Eurocrats running the EU are corrupt. That's one reason the UK voted to Brexit and leave. The leaders of the EU have no transparency, make arbitrary rules out of thin air and no one knows who is running the show. Something like this is what Hillary and her cohorts have planned for the USA. Problem for the UK is that it will take a while to untangle itself from the EU. Unknown if they can get Apple to move from Ireland to England because of the EU entanglements. But Apple will be able to stall the EU for several years until moving to England is feasible. In the meantime, they can begin pulling out of Europe and let the EU wither in its death spiral.
