Taking your comment as more of a zeitgeist-y vibe-y thing that something literal, I still disagree.
Apple's walled garden is more your definition of European than American. Apple sharply limits (or regulates) what you can do on your phone because they think they have a better idea of how you should live your digital life.
Android's openness fits your definition of American with their anything-goes, let's see how far we can take this, approach to mobile computing.

I think that it's Apple's bottom line that dictates how Apple corral people to live their digital lives. It's not because they are benevolent dictators, inspired geniuses, altruistic utopians or whatever. It's just a way to make more money for themselves. They perfected the walled garden, made huge profits out of it and will fight to keep those walls standing.
