Could be the connector thing. The iDevice snaps into place with no "wires" to mess with. Adding a cable would just be a point of failure. But really, I think the reason it more to do with app consistency. How many Android devices are out there that won't run this or that app because of some incompatibility? Sure, most app devs release patches, but with the iDevice, there are MUCH fewer devices to worry about.

Either way, no matter if it was Android, BlackBerry, Windows, etc; the issue I have is the purposeful crippling of the system without the added device. It's not about added cost, it's not about requiring Apple specifically. And I've made my opinion clear about this system if the reasoning is to mitigate liability.
