Apple CEO Tim Cook has expressed frustration with his company being dragged into the regulatory spotlight along with the rest of Silicon Valley.on Monday, and Quick asked Cook how he felt about regulators honing in on big tech, specifically calling for companies like Apple to be broken up. "I'm frustrated that tech is painted as monolithic. Tech is not monolithic. That would be like saying, 'All restaurants are the same,' or 'All TV networks are the same,'" Cook replied.He said Apple's size, geographical location, and market cap was the only thing tying it to other tech companies. The firm is close to the trillion-dollar valuation it passed last year, putting it in the same company as Amazon and Microsoft.
