very few people have problems with it. ipods are *still* the best
selling music player and iphones and ipads are extremely popular. all
of those use itunes.

there are always a few vocal critics who hate stuff.

of course it doesn't force anything. 

it does show the store, but you don't have to buy anything and you can
enable parental controls to block the store permanently. that will make
it difficult to buy apps or music in itunes, but you can still buy it
on the ipad.
