>>iPhone is this phone. Easiest to use, customer-friendly, options for limiting apps, large icons etc.

And no one is forcing you or your elderly relative to jailbreak it.

>> you want the foolproof layer to be stripped from iPhone

No, I want you(and me) to have the ability to strip it.

>>Why?

Because I want to be able to jailbreak the device I own and run the code that I write without asking Apple for their blessing. It's not any more complicated than this.
