That is precisely the point: RMS does not want Apple to sell more machines,
because Apple is being boycotted. The idea would have been to financially
hurt Apple for what they have have done in GUI copyright. As a matter of
fact, to extrapolate this properly, RMS wants all Mac owners to get rid of
their machines, and direct their programming efforts to other platforms.
The more software is available for a machine like the Mac, the more such
machines are sold, which is precisely what RMS wanted to avoid.
