iPhone makes much of these concepts either impossible or extremely difficult.
Namely, things cannot operate easily as a background service. Forcing the user to jump though many hoops to make it work. And since it is not an apple service. There is a single button "reset settings" that breaks all the users changes for these apps.
On one hand it is generally more secure for iPhone users, on the other hand it greatly inhibits some types of innovation.
