In this case it sounds like it's the quality of Apple's default music player that you appreciate.
Imagine if their default music player was disappointing, and you couldn't change it... the lack of options would be a detriment, not a feature.
People don't like that Apple doesn't let you change things, they like that you don't need to because the default setting is good enough.

This could be attributed to how they identify (what they consider) the most important options, focus entirely on those, and implement them well. The complexity of a system can go up exponentially with the number of features. If development resources were infinite, this wouldn't be a problem. But it is finite, and more complexity can lead to more bugs, more confusing interfaces, less maintainable code, and a host of other pitfalls. In that case, if a lack of options is allowing Apple to a product that's better overall for most of its users, that's a definite feature.
