My thoughts exactly. yes, open source is great, but can also lead to many issue. BSOD...sound familiar.
As for companies shutting down unit if it gets tampered with, why not? You are reverse engineering a product that has value. Probably why companies dont sell to the chinese so much. When you buy a product you are buying the user end of it, and mechanical parts of it.
The more people hack, the more companies lose $$. Probably many consumers here, but I would think that those are inventors/developers would not want their code or product to be hacked.
Then again, you do have the choice to do things the right way or the wrong way.
I would prefer apple control the software and me not worry about OS failures.

Unfortunately, you get a lot of issues, I'll name a few:
1) Viruses, malware, other potentially harmful programs
2) Poorly coded programs, and programs that are non-uniform, IE the UI etc... across multiple apps is not uniform, it should be.
3) Fake rubbish apps that don't work
Just to name a few, if Apple didn't have control - it would be chaos.
