Regarding ugly plan: Is app store 'lock-in' any different from apple's usual hardware' lock in' for laptops/desktops? Pd still runs on those platforms so why not port ipad, ipod, iphone upud, ipid etc?
In any case isnt RJDJ the port for Pd to this platform anyway ? I could be wrong- not 100%
I wouldn't say it's a port of of Pd, not as an application. It's a port of Pd to support a specific application class with its own interfaces.
The GUI for Pd on a tablet would be quite different anyway, to take advantage of that device's touch gestures, a direct port of the keyboard oriented interface would miss an opportunity.
Regarding Apple, who are only one manufacturer of mobile and tablet devices; I think this is a moral issue that can be easily settled by watching this famous advertisement,

and comparing the stance implied there with their position 25 years later.
