Apple doesn't seem to fight jailbreakers at all. It seems that most jailbreaks rely on a security hole, and Apple has a responsibility to patch said hole.

Back in iOS 2(?), for example, you could jailbreak your phone by visiting a webpage that automatically executed code on your device. That's SO shady, and I'm SO glad they fixed it.

If Apple actively wanted to stop users doing this, I'd imagine they'd have very little trouble given they have full control over the hardware and software stack.
