That's really a definition problem. For most people I know outside of IT, the App Store is the magical wonderland that frees them to do things they previously could not - or even did not know was possible.

By the time most people find what I find practically unfree (inability to access sandboxed data) they ignore it as just one of those things or try looking for another app. By the time a mass of people find this ethically unfree I suspect the App Store will simply have vanished in commercial swamps.
