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?

It depends on the level of fuckiness, there was once a piece of software that attempted to take legal possession of the user’s immortal soul by way of EULA. That was ruled null and void because of the concept of an unconscionable clause, that is to say something too fucky in the contract for the state to enforce it.  Your given example would be ruled unconscionable. 

IANAL YMMV
