Hi from France. Apple has legal obligations as they are an editor. But in my point of view, it is not the role of a compagny to decide what is "legaly moral". This is the first problem. Second one is that (please consider i'm european) a compagny can't decide by itself who have the Right be a concurrent. In Europe, it took long years, but finally Microsoft has been condamned for obstruction to concurrence because of IE domination! Now, each new computer whith Windows must give the choice at the first boot between selected browsers. I think this Will happen one day to Apple, because restrictions about Adobe flash are just illegals. Just like the impossibility to use the app installers of our choice.
@spike021: The fight against piracy is not an argument. Look how it is easy today to find and install a cracked app, and how it is easy to crack and spread worldwide an official app. This is the demonstration that Apple closed model is absolutly not the answer to piracy.
