Every media consumption app I use loads data other than through iTunes. (There could be ones that only use iTunes, but I don't use them.)
Even for ones that din't have their own built-in browsers you could just use GoodReader[0] to grab the file from wherever it is, and Open In... to the correct app.
So it is certainly true to say that you can't just connect as a USB drive and put files directly onto the device, or add an SD card with your own media, and these are valid complaints, and ways in which Android is much more flexible, but it simply isn't true to say that iTunes is the only way to load media onto an iPad.
[0]: GoodReader has basically become an iOS file manager, that also happens to be able to view PDF files.
