People who buy Apple products are also paying for these educational events; people are choosing to associate with Apple, and some of them are undoubtedly proud to contribute to this, dare I say, "public good".
Of course, some of us think it's a waste of time, or that money could be spent teaching more interesting topics, etc. WE don't have to pay for those events; we aren't forced to contribute to Apple's system of education.
That is what separates Apple from a Government: Apple allocates resources by agreement, rather than by imposition. (Of course, if Apple's "community" is sufficiently powerful, then it becomes almost all but impossible to exist in a way that doesn't somehow cater to its wishes, but that doesn't prevent people from saving up their resources in order to forger their own path instead.)
