I think maybe you misread me. I'm not saying you're wrong for wanting these things, but you have to acknowledge these facts: The music industry doesn't want you doing exactly what you outline in example 1; don't be surprised when companies who are in bed with them support their position. Example 2: That's what "marching forward with or without you" is. They upgraded iOS without much regard for users on hardware that was only a generation old. I suffered through the same thing. I'm pretty sure we're agreeing here. Example 3: You seem to be conflating trust with expectation. Trust is "Believe in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of" according to Google. I trust that Apple is going to behave exactly as they always have. You might expect them to do something different, but that doesn't have anything to do with trust. If you do trust them to do something like enable you to copy music from your friends' computers through a simple sync utility, your trust is misplaced, and my point still stands. You might have unresolvable ideological differences with Apple.
