Being that nobody actually reads the terms of service/use for products, could a company put something fucky and it be legal?

For example, say the next iOS TOS agreement says that any users who accept are subject to have their bank accounts drained and we all go on using our iPhones as usual and they took the money. Would that be legal?

There is an exception to what people are saying here: BUSINESS SOFTWARE!!!

If you buy or use software to run a business of any size, click-through EULAs are enforceable and software companies can and do enforce the terms of use. Most of them have very well trained, dedicated teams that audit their customers and hunt for non-authorised users to find breaches of the agreement and claim damages or fees for unfair use.

In the business it’s normally known as ‘Software Asset Management’ and it’s a big business for some companies.
