> Whether or not things should be reused / resold is beside the point.
Its not beside the point at all.
The reason is because, even if we say that the current behavior was against current laws, knowing what should happen tells society how we could change the laws.
Furthermore, if Apple is doing something that society doesn't like, individual people can talk about that, condemn Apple for it, and encourage others to take actions that negatively affects Apple or Apple employees, in retaliation for the bad behavior.
> why shouldn't the company sue for breach of contract?
The reason is because, as a society, we want things to be reused. So maybe we could make a law, that makes this reselling behavior legal, and removes Apple's right to sue anyone for this.
