    Why would people hate Monsanto more than, say, Apple? They're big companies that serve their consumers and shareholders.

It's their business practices. In my case, I strongly disagree with Monsanto's suing of farmers for patent infringement when they haven't planted Round-up ready seed, but due to cross-pollination with nearby Monstanto crops, the gene has inserted into some of their own. Not that some folk don't really dislike Apple. However, you seem to suggest that "big companies that serve their consumers and shareholders." should all be viewed equally.
