So I found, in my basement, an Apple Quadra from 1993 that says simply "Assembled in U.S.A." (Still boots!) I haven't opened it up, but skimming parts list, many were manufactured in the US as well.
I found a B&W G3 PowerMAc from later in the 90s that says "Assembled in Singapore" (!)
From ~2000 on I see mostly "Designed by Apple in California. Assembled in China."
There's no rational way to claim that Apple, of all companies, put Commodore out of business.
Assembled in USA. I can find one computer out of ~2 dozen from 40 years that use that terminology. (And after Commodore was basically dead.)
Googled IIgs, etc. to find their labels (I don't have any computers that go back that far). All the labels I could locate online say either "Made in Singapore" or "Assembled in Mexico" or similar.

I don't see anything to your claim.
