Unlike a state central bank, their license to print money is more of a metaphor than a fact.

If you have nearly $200 billion in the bank, why do you need to raise another $5 billion?

The reason is that App,e have a lot of their capital in off shore accounts. If they brought that money into the USA, they'd be hit with a massive tax bill. It's cheaper for them to borrow and issue bonds than use their own capital.
