No WP is not locked down more than iOS. I need iTunes to add something to an iOS device rather than just an MTP capable OS and it destroys the entire device's media collection if you move between machines. That's draconian to say the least.
In the locked down stakes I think it goes:
Android < WP < iOS
The openness of Android is what sold it for me as well though. I'm not sure Windows will remain open indefinitely. The current crop of "modern" or "universal" apps are a step towards a vaulted subsection of the operating system. That will be no banana for me then.
