Well the table manufacturer is not obliged to make it possible or easy for you to use the table as a chair, a bed or an airplane. I'm not really a fan of Apple but it's not that they are hiding the fact that you can only install software on the iPhone via the app store. It's the way they choose to design their product and it's an inherent feature of it (and part of their business model). Should all companies which build devices which include general purpose computers internally be legally obliged to make it possible (and easy) for users to install arbitrary software on them?
