I'm curious, what exactly is the problem with this? Does Apple have copyrights on the whole design or each individual visual element? Where would figma get in trouble if they left it working that way?

It’s a PR issue not a legal one.

Yah. ALl of this makes me think it's crazy for a company like Figma to even try this. If the designs don't steal from well known brand, people will say they suck. If they do steal, they get booed as well. Losing proposition, it seems to me.
