That's kind of like saying "I'm going to get on a plane, and I don't care if it goes north, south, east or west, so long as there's great service!"
Different platforms have very different potential in terms of what *level* of services applications can provide. For example, making a great text editor or web browser is something people like, but if it's impossible to make it the default application, then it's still somewhat limited in use.
This especially goes for people who want to access the hardware, say for things like augmented reality, microphone access (recording calls, etc.. - I know it's illegal in many places, but I'm just thinking function), and here's a big one nowadays: storage access and location (probably can't change defaults for obvious reasons).
It will make a very big difference to your user experience depending on what platforms and what accessibility is given.

Actually, it's not REALLY like that, because part of a great flying experience is actually getting to your destination.

I dont mind limited or restricted or whatnot as long as:
- The applications are good and make sense
- User friendly
- Very responsive
- Blazingly fast
- Stable
- Very good on battery live
Thats all!
I dont care if it is XNA or Silverlight or C++ or .NET
Sleep or paused in the background or not sleep at all :)
At the end is the "user EXPERIENCE" that matters !
