There's nothing exaggerated about that story. Apple cut off access to his accounts and services because of a payment issue (which wasn't even his fault).
Even if it was his fault, and he just decided not to make that payment, the story still illustrates how much power Apple has.
It's like if you missed a car payment, and the bank used their connections to cut off your cell phone, water, electricity, etc until you paid. Whether or not missing a payment is immoral/wrong, giving a private company so much power over an individual's life is absurd. That's some mafia, break your knee caps with a baseball bat-type shit.
