That's a good distinction. It doesn't bother me that I can't run arbitrary code on my Xbox, it does a specific function well and I don't need or expect more from it. But with a phone or computer it would never be acceptable to need permission to run given code or be forced to go through a platform middleman.

Maybe a phone is something they want to just work, let them do their banking apps in a secure ecosystem, while they would love to plug in a mouse+KB and do some spreadsheets or run Linux on their Xbox. Try to maintain some level of theory of mind here.
