I think society generally thinks of phones and computers as separate concepts. Phones are supposed to be locked down for security, and computers are supposed to be open. Apple's dominance is in the phone sector, and people who use Apple computers are largely used to or supportive of that locked down, Apple knows-best-approach to devices.
Apple also knows what mistakes MS made, and can avoid them while slow-walking OSX to the same locked-down ecosystem as their other devices use.
I'm curious if Microsoft could build their own iPad knock offs and get away with the same stuff that Apple does, but my guess is no.
