Most likely they didn't see it as forcing it on anyone.
Apple: "How would you like for 500 million people to get a copy of your album?"
U2: "Uh, let us think about it".
If even 1% of those 500 million people listen to the thing, that's 5 million people- probably more listeners than they might have gotten otherwise, even including illegal downloads. And even bad publicity is still publicity.

I've actually thought about that; I imagine I might have been mildly annoyed initially, never bothered to listen, then wouldn't give it a second thought.
