I think you'll find that sharing music is technically illegal. So not Apple users pretending not to want to use a feature every other phone has, but something no phone should really permit.
Now not allowing bluetooth transfer of photo's natively is a bit daft, but that is why it is an app phone. Where it is not provided as a native feature an app can fill that gap and maybe better than Apple could have done in the first place.
Apple sell music, they have contracts with all major record companies. If they opened up the ability to access the songs stored on your idevice and share them with anyone you chose they would find themselves losing those contracts and getting more stick from the music industry than they already do.
Wheter you agree with what Apple do and how they go about implementing them is up to you, but if you look at it from the view point of Apple, they
have to have these restrictions in place in order to maintain the widespread hold they have over content providers. If they let even the smallest item slip through they risk losing everything they have built up in a very short time (compared to the other phone makers).
WIth the exception of Sony, I don't think any of the other phone manufacturers sell music. Those that tried all failed at it. This maybe why they can get away with turning a blind eye to the file transfer of music. I'm not sure how Sony do, but it's only their own music they deal with so they only need to worry about pissing themselves off.
