I am not sure where you think the community has "nobody is up in arms about it at all". Most of the biggest complaints about Apple is their locked down approach to hardware/software integration. Yes, you are right, nobody is complaining specifically about apple not allowing android on iOs devices, mostly because the desire is not there based on the expense of the apple hardware compared to android based phones.

The desire from an MS perspective is that the hardware can be acquired significantly cheaper than other devices.

As a whole, you will find that the community is opposed to locks in general, whether defining it as OS level or application level (ios jailbreak). Overall the consumer prefers open platforms over closed.
