A Wall Garden / Gated Community allows for the deployment of personal security such as a home security system with monitoring company, video surveillance, and personal security guards. Apple does not allow any if that. You cannot even preemptively block known Command and Control services, best C&C servers operate in plain sight, such as X-Twitter and Facebook on iOS.a

Seems a bad analogy. In a prison cell, it's deliberately made hard for criminals to damage each other, isn't it?

Apple's prison actively cooperates with criminals to run scams on you that you cannot avoid.

On second thought, it sounds exactly like a real prison. On second thought, great analogy!
