Someone wants to make an easy profit off the coat-tails of Apple's success
Why can't complementary products exist? You wouldn't consider a train timetable app parasitic. In fact, my local train network encourages such apps so that they don't have to do it themselves. Businesses can build co-operating products.
In fact, when the Pebble first came out its notification handling was better on iOS than Android because Apple specifically made it easy. Pebble, Fitbit, and Garmin paved the way for smart-watches. Once the hard work was done, then Apple produced their own. And what a coincidence, everything gets locked down for third-party watches.
Nobody is complaining that they don't make things easy. They're complaining that they make it impossible because they compete with Apple.
