> The iPhone (or whatever phone you want) is the equivalent of a Walmart store.

The major difference here is that while I don't own the Walmart store, I do own my phone. What is allowed to be sold in the store is determined by Walmart, just as what's installed on my phone should be determined by me, the owner.

Ownership is a valid point. I'm not arguing either course, I'd like to see the ability to be able to install Apps myself just as I do on a Mac or PC mostly because I'm tired of the forced puritism of companies these days.
