The article doesn't explicitly state it, but the wording implies that this headline was not created by BBC. This appears to be a service running on Apple products producing its own summary of the news article. So the BBC didn't get burned by something they did and that's what they're complaining about.
Oh, well that's different. There is no reason Apple should be editorializing their content like that.
Apple wasn't directly creating these summaries, it was their on device AI summaries of the articles bastardizing it.
That's bullshit. You're not absolved of all wrongdoing because you used a computer as a middle man.
Apple chose to implement AI for this purpose, they are responsible for all output.
