But it is very good for manufacturers (their bottom line) to make what consumers demand.

If no one is making the products you'd want them to make, it's probably because no one is buying them, after all.

What lock-in?

Contacts/calendar/email can easily be synced to a new device and all the big utility apps are on both phone OSs.
