I'm afraid, Kyle, it's not even remotely the same.
The paragraph you quoted is 100% self-interest, not morality. No loaded words making value judgments about others ("draconian").
Their concern is that they will lose control of their platform to a party that doesn't care about its future. Apple has already been down that road with Adobe on the Mac and they're making clear it sucks for their goals. Making the best apps the world has ever seen isn't idealism – it's a bunch of cash in Apple's pocket. This strikes me as pragmatic, not moralizing. They're worried for themselves, not for you or me, except inasmuch as we might be users who will cease giving them money if they ship crap.
That's just not the same as FUDding about "one man" and all this, I'm sorry.
