Apple is a corporation not bound to normal individual timescales. Right now they are conditioning everyone to accept the app store model universally. If you are under a certain age, you don’t even know another concept exists unless your are tech savvy or in a tech field.
These are dividends to be reaped at a later date. And the inability to secure software and hardware systems will be the ultimate justification.
The great irony in all of our endeavors is that if you make all of your decisions in an effort to avoid becoming something, you just wind up taking the long way around and backing into being the thing you didn’t want to become in the first place.
See Google:Evil,
Apple:1984,
Microsoft:The Borg,
Larry Ellison:A Lawnmower
And the list of individuals who became what they most despised is quite long as well.

My suspicion is that the computing industry as a whole is inching toward an everything-in-the-cloud, ubiquitous computing model, and the vast majority of users will see this shift as a net benefit, not a net negative. I'm not convinced that simply projecting what we have now forward a few years is what that will look like, though.
