Very sure Apple is that 'stupid', for the simple fact that from a Apple business point of view it's actually pretty smart to do this.
Pushing you're own standards, making (or forcing, whatever you want to call it) people buy more of your products, because they only work with your devices, is pretty smart... When the masses give into it.

How many people actually do you see, who use a iPhone. Don't use the headphones that come with it. It's a rare site. I'll see maybe 3 people have other headphones. In the sea of white appleness. Just walking around for an hour. They already get the sales. This seems like a waste of time. To just make the phone thinner. Beacuse they just make a Lightning version, and move on. I don't use Bluetooth for the fact I have to charge another freaking thing. I forget to charge my phone a lot of times. Now I have to remember that, on top of it.

Apple wants to push their Lightning port, like the article in the link says. They will not force bluetooth headphones, that would be useless.
Of course they get the sales, but Apple sells more than just iPhones. And if they can make their Lightning port a new accepted standard maybe more companies want to use it, or more companies want to make Lightning port headphones. Which all means more dollars for Apple.
