I wanted to do a point-by-point rebuttal of this, but it's just drivel. Here's the key – companies are free to provide whatever devices and services they want on the market, so long as they don't have so much influence that it distorts the market. If they do, then they will come under increased scrutiny. Apple are, and should be, totally free to enforce whatever stupid restrictions they want, because there are multiple other mobile device platforms available. It's not even the largest one. The market is open and competitive.
