This is exactly what I have to do, but why am I forced to? While Kindle is locked in, it seems to be a love child of Amazon and works extremely well. The difference between Kindle and iPhone is that Kindle is a single-purpose device, and iPhone is a general computing platform.

Apple says it's an exclusive experience, which is obviously sold to absolutely anyone who can cough up the dough. (Snark aside, the Apple is rightfully famous for their tight integration, high-quality user experience, and that basically requires a walled garden. And it's easy to find edge cases.) And you're forced to because they are not a charity and because they can get away with it. (Both in a legal and market forces aspect.)
