I don't get what part of the value proposition for the customer ought to entail that nobody else may make different choices. If an Android user wants to solely and exclusively use Google apps, they can. Likewise, if people want to install apps from other sources, why is that a problem for someone who wants to stick to Apple's app store?
This only makes sense for the company, because they benefit from absolute control.
third party apps bad!! viruses and trojans, can you imagine this monstrosity??!
You might even install a pear on your apple, and that would be a catastrophe.
