The web, a platform with seemingly unlimited extensibility in terms of UI design, has fostered some of the worst designs ever seen.... but also some of the best designs ever seen. But most importantly, we all all richer because of the competition and diversity in interfaces that it has fostered.
I don't know why you wouldn't wish the same in the iOS ecosystem as well, especially since it is an ecosystem with a comparatively better sense of taste relative to other developer communities, meaning that when it does deviate from the norm it is more likely to get it right than other communities might. Why would we want to neuter the creativity and taste that community has?
