The reason I have the iPhone is that they make better choices for a lot of things, not specifically that it is a walled garden. I still wish I could take a system with that design, then sideload, or root, at my own discretion, without every update being a risk that the root will be broken. It's a rather expensive computer and I wish I could use it as a more general purpose computer for certain things.
