I believe that is a misinterpretation, in this case. I do agree that Apple has a closed system but they are not setting up a monopoly. The not sharing a sandbox is due to the iOS not being a full OS with interlocks in place to avoid one application from interfering with another such as one application editing a file that another one happens to be using. I believe this is just a simplistic implementation to avoid this problem.
