I call Apple the ultimate control freaks. They have to control your entire experience. That works reasonably well for the things Apple plans the device to be used for, because you get a nice, consistent experience. But if you want to stray beyond what Apple intended, that model breaks down.

However, you'd think Apple would have a process to review ideas for applications, at least. That way developers could write a proposal and get a go/no-go decision up front.
