iPhone user here, because Apple likes money.

I would say: because Apple investors like money.

Because if they opened their walled off garden, there's a chance they might lose profit and if they do, their CEOs might not be able to afford their diamond studded swimming pools and solid gold Humvees. Those things don't grow on trees.
