"Walled garrden" is a technical term for closed ecosystems like Apple's
AppStore.
Everyone can participate and submit or buy Apps, but only within the sometimes
quite restrictive rules defined by the operator.
On the contrary with
"take a GNUstep outside of the walled garden"
you can develop any app and publish it as you like (*). And that without
loosing the knowledge and APIs one has learned for the Apple ecosystem.
For a better definition look at WIkipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_platform
(*) we even have a very simple form of an AppStore (the GNUstep Software Index).

Because GNUstep is not a tool for "thinking".
