Android and iOS user. I"m not defending it per say because the frustration of a real shell existing (I've jailbroken iOS and used it) but no access to it is real. The argument from apple is even if you put a warning label on on a setting "allow filesystem access over SSH" for example, if you give users unmanaged file or other systems access, it will be exploited and in reality, what most users (or at least my mother and father) want is to just use their phone and never think about it. It's fair not to like it and it may be wrong, but to imply that apple did it just to frustrate power users is either misinformed or dishonest. Lastly there's a cool ios project https://github.com/tbodt/ish https://github.com/tbodt/ish that gives you an emulated shell. Works pretty well.
