If it really, really bothers you and you want an iPhone, you can always jailbreak your iphone/iTouch/iPad and download some of the apps for jailbroken iPhones. That way you get the best of both world. For the most part, Apple has ignored the jailbreak community.

Once again, compare the iPhone development community verse the Android development community. Consumers have voted with their pocket book and have overwhelmingly gone the iPhone route. If you don't want to go that route, it's fine. A robust marketplace gives people all sorts of choices. But insisting that true consumer choice is only possible if everyone makes the same choice as you is rather egocentric.
