Seems like there's more apple trees now than there would be if we didn't cultivate them, cause otherwise we wouldn't bother. We are an entire species thar got domesticated by fucking wheat. If you're gonna go all Darwin on what the plant would prefer, I can say for sure, edible plants have us by the balls. I'd the absolute unquestionable apex animal spends most of the resources not spent on killing each other on propagating your species, I think we can see who the dom is when looking at things from an outside perspective.
Trees be like
as humans kill themselves and all mammals in the anthropocentric mass-extinction.
Nope, we don't slaughter apple trees to get apples.
Yes we do, after they stop being able to produce dairy.
Except that apple tree is not sentient, and hewing that tree is not done for the production of another commodity. You confidently asserted the opposite and not are changing the argument
