It's called gallows humor. It's a defense mechanism, a response to what one sees as a hopeless situation.
Not saying it is or is not appropriate in this situation, but it's not much different than saying "I'd rather die than go to that meeting" or "this is hell" or "if I have to maintain that legacy codebase, just shoot me now".

In that case the jokes made at Apple could be in the same class.
