Actually, no. I'm a happy WP user who recently upgraded from an older high-end model to a newer cheapie model when the screen broke. If you delete an app (or get a new device connected to the same account) and then go to the store, it tells you that you own the app but will not force you to download it. I never really thought about it until I read your gripe list, but that system really cuts down on at least some of the problems on your list.
Sure, WP doesn't have as many apps and its media management abilities pale I comparison to IOS, but its light, quick, and doesn't do anything that pisses me off. Plus it looks pretty good while coming with a real built-in file browser.
