Why does being an iPad make a device somehow undesirable and deserving of heavy restrictions?

It can be argued that the iPad is at least superficially more secure than general-purpose computers.  If I were to differentiate access policies between iPads and general-purpose computers (which I can't imagine having a need to do), I'd be inclined to give the iPads *more* privileges than the general-purpose computers, not less.
