Right, but Apple prohibits the installation of apps that are not from their app store.

True, but you are free to install only free apps, or no apps, or only your own apps pushed directly onto the phone. In fact you are free to fully operate without iCloud/AppStore (if I'm not mistaken)

Buying a general-purpose computing device to run a handful of built-in applications is not really fully operating it.
