I think it's a perfect example of the Apple vs. non-Apple mentality.
Apple: If we let people have choices, they might make bad ones!
PC/Linux/etc.: You're a grown-up, go ahead and brick your system if you want to.
Personally, I prefer the freedom to make my own choices, knowing that the price of this freedom is eternal vigilance and good anti-malware programs. Obviously there are plenty of people who want to be taken care of. But wouldn't an "Apple Approved" tag in the App Store be sufficient for them? Does it have to be made impossible for them to do anything that Apple doesn't sanction?
