The lack of either an author or an editor is currently flagged in ConTeXt as an error for books and perhaps other bibtex entry types as well. Or do you mean to apply this recommendation to only the electronic type or some other limited subset of types?
This will be corrected for types other than electronic when I look into a consistent set.
Perhaps it is better to use the association name as an author and protect it with a layer of curlies or quotation marks, as {{Apple, Inc.}}, "{Apple, Inc.}", or '{Apple, Inc.}', any one of which will do the job and also serve to prevent what would surely be unwanted abbreviation for styles that abbreviate what are parsed as given names.
This won't happen. We made a design choice not to follow such sloppy bibtex/LaTeX use and to require clean datasets. Apple Inc. is NOT a named author, it is an organization, and the APA specification is clear about this (it even has screwy rules about the first citation and then the following when one should abbreviate names [such as APA]). Of course, the specifications have to be fixed to handle this correctly and consistently, also trying to be consistent with the fields that are defined by the original bibtex documentation and followed by many bibtex manipulating tools (such as jabref). The problem is that the use of bibtex in the real world is a big mess! ALan
