I don't have high hopes for his business prospects if this is how he handles one of the richest companies in the world clearly having a high need for something his company offers. Maybe spend less time on Twitter and more on your business model?
That tweet will get attention! Finding the right person is everything...

Map: https://www.caida.org/research/id-consumption/census-map/ima... (a bit dated, but shows the historic allocations) Look up "CIDR", history thereof, for reasons why it looks this way.
Crazy how wasteful it is. I wonder what genius thought to allocate /8 to every company/organization. You don't need to have PhD in statistics and math to know there's more than 250 companies.
Hindsight is 20/20 and the „Internet“ was a mainly US centered university research project that was thought of as a toy by the far majority.
Everybody thought they‘d have a replacement for the initial assignment once things got serious... for more fun, google ipv6 history ^^

Apple publishes that IP range (CIDR address block) in several KB articles on its own website for system administrators to configure firewalls/web filters. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210060 https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT203609
That's rather beside the point. Just because I advertise my IP doesn't mean I want my service providers to disclose my activity publicly.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here, but does apple pay them for this?

Someone you get freebies from isn't a "service provider".
This is probably apple's continuous integration tests, lazily written to download the whole thing every time someone merges a commit.
that's really stupid. I mean, I would have set a cache repository (SonaType Nexus maybe?), download everything there and use that repository. In the tweets the author says they've blocked the download from Apple IPs, so now their pipeline is broken.

Funny enough the highest price point for IP ranges is somewhere between /16 and /24, IIRC. You can count how many companies need and will be willing to pay 8-9 figures for a /8 without getting to your toes. And subnetting it and selling it to maximize returns is hard work. But if you’re sitting on a /21? That’ll move before you can count how many IPs are in the block ;)
Why are they so valuable?
We're slowly transitioning to a new scheme with ample address space. But to nobody's surprise it's taking decades longer than envisioned.

Sounds very smart on their party: move forward with what matters (building your codebase, tests, etc) and don't do something (like an internal cache), unless you have to -- the ops equivalent of lazy-loading...
