Walled gardens are fine as the initial means of obtaining software, but I think every device should allow you to load any app you want onto it (even if it's via a few more hoops). That way you can use the app stores first and foremost which whilst still having a risk attached is less than downloading random apps from the net. But when an app you want is blocked and it's from a company you feel you can trust, you can still use it.
Best of both worlds that way.
