They aren't just Apple users. They are people that paid good money for a device that is capable of running code. The person who bought the phone should naturally have the right to run whatever code they want to authorize on that device, regardless of where the code came from. Your Walmart analogy is broken. I think it's more like this: A band that I like released a CD. I buy a CD from one of their live shows. I should have the right to play the CD on my CD player without having to pay 30% of ALL CD sales to the maker of the CD player. I don't mind paying a 30% cut to a store which made it more convenient for me to buy the CD, but I shouldn't HAVE to go to that ONE CD store to buy my CD's.
