The whole Mac platform is geared toward stupid people.
Some of it seems to be designed also by utter stupidity, like the lack of 
a garbage collector. Or the refusal of Apple to approve new "diagnostic" 
applications that allow to see the content in the memory, or the running 
programs.

I wouldn't either. I started work of an iPhone client for my CRM software 
but I do realise the limitations of the platform as a whole.

There are some limited, and official, ways to officially circumvent the 
app store. But it does limit distribution and marketing of the 
application.

Don't forget that as far as Apple is concerned they only have a few dozen
customers for the iPhone. They are the carriers who sell them.
