Priscilla and Aquila discerned that Apollos was not advanced in his doctrine. They therefore sought to bring him up to their understanding.
Ac 18:26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
They did not want Apollos to stay at a low level, namely, that he should attempt to preach Christ with the doctrine of John the Baptist. It is quite right to lay out a greater understanding of the Scripture.
Having been shown, the onus is on people whether or not they respond positively to the constructive points raised about their current views and actions.
Once Apollos heard the way of God more perfectly, he advanced forward in great power.
