Well, I did read it. Obviously Apple didn’t use those exact words, but the argument is the same: users are incapable of making safe decisions and need to be protected from themselves.
Comment on Apple to Australians: You’re Too Stupid to Choose Your Own Apps

I don’t even need to read the article to know that they didn’t actually say that.

But they did, just with different words.

So they didn’t…
The title should quote what they actually said rather than putting their own bias on it.

Except the title isn’t a quote, it’s a paraphrase - hence why there are no quotation marks.
You could say “Midnitte to OpinionHaver: their opinion is stupid and wrong”, even if the actual statement was, “Midnitte said OpinionHaver was wrong and making incorrect judgments about language”.
Apple’s statement is probably much longer than would fit into a sensible title bar…

As a reader, you can’t rely on headlines to be a replacement for reading the article. Headlines tend to be shorter than the corresponding article and require a level of summarization to be effective.

But I’m not criticizing them for failing to summarize the entire article in the headline. I’m criticizing them for being biased - and for clearly showing that bias in how they chose to write the headline. This isn’t neutral reporting on what’s happening.
