>Apple wants to control all the code that runs on users' devices. Market segmentation is merely a side-effect.

You have cause and effect reversed

No, I don't. iPhones don't segment anything, yet they are locked tight.

Apple would have liked to lock down macOS, but it's just not feasible (for now).

Of course they do. There's market segmentation between iPhone tiers, between just using the iPhone as a computer (connecting it to a monitor and running macOS on it), differentiating iOS from the much less tightly maintained Android ecosystem (for which "walled garden" is a feature felt as "less hassle, less malware, more secure, mostly just works"), and several other things.
