Yes... imagine a Windows machine... but there is no such thing as a "Windows" machine
, just hundreds of assorted PC manufacturers making a very wide range of hardware that can have Windows installed on it... your choice which bit of hardware, software and usual incompatibilities you buy into.
Also your choice... buy an iPad with uniform standards laid down for hardware through to the software... odd glitches usually fixed quickly... your choice also...
If you like Windows and the wide range of PC hardware, fine but equally if you like the Uniform Apple approach to something like the iPad, well that's equally fine... it's a free choice. If you don't like the Apple approach then go Android or whatever other system you choose... that's also your choice.
Just stop bitching about Apple, Microsoft or what ever... you aren't forced to use any of these things any more... there are choices... tell us what you like and why not moan about what you don't... Microsoft users couldn't care less about the Evil Empire moaning, iPad users are generally happy campers judging by the millions sold... Personally I don't have an iPad because it doesn't meet my needs but neither do most of the Android pads, even the visibly available ones... when they do then I'll purchase whichever meet my needs...

Now imagine all software on a Windows machine being sold ONLY through the Windows Store, with Microsoft taking a 30% cut. |
