The Apple is evil angle has everything to do with offensive litigation, Google doesn't have anywhere near the history of suing companies for anything like trade dress, reseller lawsuits, naming issues, anti-competitive/anti-consumer practices and several times trying to sue outright for things they never came up with nor had the patents for, but it just looked similar. Just go and count the number of these types of lawsuits from Apple, Google hasn't had these.
Apple fought tooth and nail to make it illegal to jailbreak their phones and when the consumers actually won, they wrote in an EULA that doing so would void your warranty. Google has not done the same thing, yet the complete opposite, they've encouraged modding. While you can argue all you want that all corporations are evil, if you're talking pure number of plantiff lawsuits Apple takes the prize.
