Right, but the military junta is totally fine, even if they are at this moment firing on civilian protestors.

It is none of Apple's business nor American people's business. American people if their heart bleeds for Myanmar's people are more than welcome to send planes to give asylum to Myanmar's people in USA. Put your money where your mouth is.
