Because the iOS policy is unethical (the machine belongs to the user, not apple), and now Microsoft is (attempting) to do it too.

The only way to stop unethical behavior is to punish them. The Library of Congress already ruled that this behavior is unethical, now manufacturers need to be pressured.
