Underneath it is OS X, don't throw out the baby with the bath water.  
With the iPhone OS at the surface of the API Apple simply tries to  
support and enforce consistent GUIs and distribution quality, an  
approach/strategy with many pros and cons but given the success of the  
entire Mac user interface one that has become very successful,  
including todays Windows (Microsoft copied it all, even illegally, but  
Apple lost that court case due to the outdated copyright laws of the  
80es).
