This (and don't forget apple made the device itself). Basically Apple is like a giant cruise ship company that can stop at any of thousands of islands along it's way. The islands that don't want to follow their rules (give us 30% of your bananas, don't use our private radio channel, wear some pants for god's sake, etc.) well that's their prerogative but they won't be able to sell their wares to Apple's thousands of well heeled tourists.
