Winning by default is not good.
If Apple had missed all the practices with injury or something like that then you would have a point. But it is not "default" when the coaches evaluate the players on hundreds of reps in practice.
BTW I am not a big fan of Apple. But I am not a big fan of the guys he is competing with either. I would not say that any of them should be "given" a starting spot, and they haven't. They have been competing all through training camp.
