The industry has learned from the RAMbus debacle.

The basic rule these days is that, you you participate in a standards-setting body, you must disclose any IP during the process of working on the standard. Your participation comes with an agreement to freely contribute anything you don't disclose.

If you want to retain your full rights, i.e. no agreement for (F)RAND, then your only option is to not participate in the standard-setting group.

I don't think Apple is doing anything strange or unusual here. Have a look at the frontmatter in any of the recent IETF RFCs if you want to see how the industry has tightened up generally on these IP shenanigans.
