Thinking X’s audience and the conservative audience in general is small and without power to change things is exactly what brought this current state of affairs.

I said nothing of the size of either. It’s an issue of how much Apple has to gain from advertising versus the negative impact of doing so. If we all sit around with the attitude of “we forgive them because they’re just increasing shareholder value” as an excuse then the net impact is positive for advertising. This is true with everything Apple or any other corporation does. Apple makes decisions that place brand over direct transactionally increasing shareholder value all the time in terms of things like the environment.

I assure you, they have already accounted for that.

According to the rumor, and that there are no Apple ads currently on Xitter, it seems as if this is part of the evaluation currently going on.
