I think there are very few people who actively want third-party software not to exist. I think the conclusion is clear, but eh, I didn't invent the iPod.
If the "few people who actively want third-party software not to exist" happen to be the heads of the iPhone bizdev and development organizations, then their opinions might turn out to be undemocratically relevant here.
I think we can fairly say that some consumers want iPhone indie apps
"Indie." Indie, indie, indie. It's such a oft-used word in this little corner of the world. Why is that when I write software for Windows I'm a software developer (or ISV), but when I write a program for a Mac I refer to myself like I'm Death Cab for Cutie?
