Apple doesn't own that building, the rent from the property owners, so that's on them. Plus it's not code there to have them. Chasing money is all

Actually no. Commercial leases are very different than residential renting. In a commercial lease, the renter is pretty much responsible for the building improvements. The renter can sometimes get the landlord to make concessions and pay for build out of something at the beginning of the lease to sign it, but everything after that is on the tenant usually.

It's the same way, the property owner could repave the parking lot and then stick the tenant with the bill (which happens in shitty shopping strips).

Now whether Apple actually needs to install bollards for any legal reason is a different topic.
