>Do you agree?
Based on what you posted? No.
What does a user interface change ("iPad style Launchpad", "Full Screen Apps", "Four Finger Swipe") have to do with openness? That sounds like a lot of the outcry over the removal of the Apple menu during the transition to OS X 10.0 - you may not like the interface change but that doesn't make things less open.
Similarly wrt "Bertrand Serlet to Leave Apple" - unless you have some evidence that he's leaving because of an "openness"-related reason, I don't see what this has to do with your thesis. People leave companies all the times, particularly 20+year veterans.
