The company that creates a platform gets to decide if their platform is open or closed.
For instance, Microsoft created Windows as an open platform while they created XBox as a closed platform.
Apple created Macintosh as an open platform and created iOS as a closed platform.
Microsoft attempted to close Windows after the fact with Windows RT and Surface RT but consumers rejected that change. The free market decides what consumers find acceptable.
iOS is a platform that favors ease of use and safety over openness.

Consumers have a choice. Quite a lot of them choose Android.

apple is doing the same thing by saying it's okay I use app store vs. I want freedom, because for the first choice it's easy, for the second choice they put a big tax in front of you
