I bought an iPod as soon as I could get my hands on it, and spent the next few months talking it up to less technically-savvy friends.
You can't develop code for iPod, either. Didn't seem to stop you from liking it and telling people about it.
I don't see the connection you're making between an open platform and impressing tech-savvy influencers.
Everyone should get out of the mode of thinking that the iPhone is a tiny Macintosh; no one ever claimed it was. That one silly slide about OS X existed only to convey the point that it's "really powerful, like a Mac is really powerful".
More than anything, they wnat the device to make calls and they want it to look slick.

Yes.
