Well, to answer this question, we need to look back at Windows. So when you installed a program in Windows, the program was saved in a particular folder and then shortcuts were placed all over the system, in order ensure that you would be able find the bloody thing. Else, you would be required to meander through a labyrinth of folders to finally arrive at the ".exe" file that you may need.
For those who have used the Macintosh, they know that there exists an application folder where one could find all of the programs. They are saved there and could be simply deleted from there.
What makes the Windows a slower system is the redundancy. Widgets are the Android avatar of these same redundancies. You can have the same app accessed through the menu folder or through the home screen or widgets and so on. These redundancies slow down the performance of a system and at same time introduce a new layer that needs to be understood by the non-tech savvy user.
If you were to ask an average Windows user to tell you, where Chrome.exe can be located, I am sure they probably would not be able to locate it. Now, ask a Mac user where Chrome is installed and most of them would get it right. This simply due to the intuitive nature of design of the system.
The same will hold true Android Vs iOS.
Now, does this reduce possibilities for the advance users, well, it certainly does. But, Apple manufactures for the masses not just for the tech-savvy user. This is reflected in numbers. Samsung Galaxy S3 sells 10 Million units in 2 months, Apple sells as many iPhone 5's in 2 weeks or probably less!
