Organizing information is hard, I'm sure we all know this. It's Apple, and it almost certainly wouldn't be "just a mirror" of whatever their internal systems have. Plus, network transfer often costs money, disk space costs money, backup systems cost money, and the server hardware (and electricity) that the thing runs on (even if it's just a VM on another box) all cost money.

Reasonable argument on profitability is not mutually exclusive with "is a d*ckmove." It may be a rational d*ckmove, but it's still not very nice, and we really have no idea how much or how little it would actually cost Apple.
