While I agree with most of what you say, the bottom line with the iTunes music store rather than the iTunes software is to my mind, at least they are selling music and you should be able to play that music, that you have legally purchased how you want to not how you are told to by the company you purchased it from.
I don't know about under US law, but here in the UK it is technically illegal to rip a CD that you have purchased and I believe it is the same in a lot of Europe. My argument is not that they should open up iTunes to connect to a multitude of players, but that maybe they should help other manufacturers develop their software to allow it to legally use music purchased from the iTunes store. Surely that would generate more revenue for them in the long term.
