Nothing bad came of it, because it highlighted a potentially abusive clause in the terms that many developers might not even have been aware of when they agreed to them.

"Apple is evil" might be wrong, but "Apple reserves the right to be evil" is still closer to the truth than "Apple is not evil".

A lot of people won't see the rebuttal and will continue thinking this is true.

In terms of risk, it is better to believe that it is true, because it could become true at any time.
