Apple isn't forcing anyone to develop for iOS. People have a large sense of entitlement these days-- if you're not happy with it make android or windows mobile apps! The thing is, developing for iOS is generally more profitable, and more fun due to the controlled and tight environment. That's why we're seeing reports of the Amazon app store being more profitable then Google play. The rules, guidelines, and even the pulling of apps is all for a reason. It generates the experience Apple wants it's consumers to have (and they're willing to pay for), and if your app isn't part of that experience then to bad! It sucks when situations like this happen, but you shouldn't feel like Apple owes you anything.
