...but Apple is a publicly traded company.

I feel like one of us got whooshed, though I'm not entirely sure who.

Sure. But that's unrelated; Apple is a publicly traded ("public") company. IKEA, for example, is a privately funded ("private") company. Being largely proprietary is separate from the ownership structure...
