I think you've gotten to the gist of things here. I vehemently disagree with you, but I believe you are in the majority. It reminds me of this:

“Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.” -- Benjamin Franklin

IMO, you're giving up freedom and getting a lot less than security.

As for the other part of your comment: remember that iOS is based on Unix, so a world without Unix is also a world without iOS.
