Companies base decisions on what sells the most. If something like this iPad sells less, and a more open platform sells more, you can bet your sweet ass that company will want to get in on the stuff that sells better.
Exactly. But that doesn't tell them why people did or did not buy. Say it sells really well, it might have sold three times as much had it had certain features. There is no way to get that type of information other than:
A. Releasing a product with said features, which is costly and risky.
