We think the biggest barrier to adoption of a platform like ours or PhoneGap's is complexity. So to keep the API and dev process as simple as possible we decided to keep control of the whole experience for our launch. Now, we're considering opening up more than just our command line tools, and will likely start doing that soon.
But being closed for now, people will hold us to a higher standard of simplicity, performance and customer support to give them a reason to change. We work hard to live up to that.
What you consider the 'main' thing is subjective, just wanted to point out the difference in how we support our customers and the pricing for it in the previous comment.
