Employees often are not particularly motivated by the company's bottom line.
It isn't hard to imagine a lower-level developer adding an entry like this to a substitution database because they were particularly frustrated with Trump. And it isn't hard to imagine a change like that flying under the radar, especially if it was done as part of a large number of changes.
That seems a much more plausible explanation to me than "phonetic overlap" or intentional direction from Apple's leadership.
