At first I thought you were making a rediculous assumption, but when I checked the linked page I understood why. According to the nutritional value listing this product has 0% fibers, while apples are supposed to be full of fibers. That 'apple juice' you're talking about must be the kind of industrial produce you buy at supermarkets, right? The kind that looks like piss... that's horrible indeed. As professor Robert H. Lustig explains in this video, sugars without fibers are destabilising your metabolism, and thus mildly poisonous.
My brother has a small scale apple farm, and makes juice with a rented mobile juice press. In these presses very little of the fruit gets wasted. You can produce about 80 liters of juice with 100 kilos of apples. The end product looks and tastes more like a fruit smoothie, and surely fits a healthy diet. I'd even recommend it for athletes as an alternative to sports drinks (although not on it's own, take some salty food and plain water too).

I wanted to inform you that the fact sheet you linked is not about apple juice as apple juice is supposed to be, but after making an account I must have gotten lost because I posted it somewhere else in the discussion... however, here it is: about prof. Lustig on sugar and fibers, and fruit farmers producing their own juices.
