I've asked similar questions before and am usually told that this is how Apple does things and it's what makes their users happy. It's in fact why they love and choose Apple. They trust Apple to make the right decisions, and this is in fact a big part of the value add of their products. This is much related to the walled garden approach. For example, ask about why sideloading should remain not an option at all, rather than something like Android where you can enable it if you want to but "Grandma" isn't going to accidentally do it. Apple users actively don't want that capability. It doesn't make sense to me, but that's because "I'm not their target market."
