The Electronic Frontier Foundation has released its annual "wish list" for various tech companies and its wishes for their openness, and Apple was only mentioned in one item. The EFF wishes Apple would easily and officially provide a way for users to "get root access" on every Apple device they buy. Of course, there are still ways to get that root access and install any software you want on your Apple device. But it involves jailbreaking, a process that's relatively easy but not at all officially supported. Apple has instead provided a closed-off ecosystem of validated apps, and while that's good for things like security and stability, it's not so great for functionality outside of the officially-provided software.
