I believe this is genuine support of the bill from Apple. Between Right to Repair winning in Massachusetts and the EU demanding compliance, I think Apple decided to flip the script. They would want to continue the illusion of customer friendly tech.

In the US sure, with all its legalised bribery.

But they'll have a much harder time with it in the EU where they cannot as easily buy people off. Plus it's actually a crime in the EU, so if they get caught trying they'll be in trouble, so perhaps they've concluded it isn't worth the risk.
