Most of those apps are not crippled to get people to switch. They're crippled because of Apple's policies. Specifically you can't make another browser be the default. You can't make another browser period, you can only skin the one that's built in. So no V8, no JägerMonkey, no Gecko, etc. Google Maps can't be the default map app. The Kindle app can't sell books. The Amazon MP3 app can't sell music. (or at least can't competitively sell) And on and on.
