Your definition of lock-in needs a reality check.

If my pocket calculator can't access the internet, it doesn't make the internet 'lock-in'.

Pocket calculator designers can implement internet support. Android developers cannot legally implement an iTunes store (I hastily assume).

There's software for desktop Linux that lets you access iTunes U, so I don't think there is anything stopping Android from being able to as well apart from developers' motivations.
