You're right Apple doesn't use OS X to promote iTunes, but that's because they use their monopoly on the mp3 market instead. From what I understand, the iPod requires iTunes to be of any use at all, it doesn't allow music from other sources unless you put it through iTunes first. To me that's worse than simply bundling software with your product for which there are alternatives that the user can get easily.

We need a MLAA (Music Lovers Association of America) to lobby for our rights! I mean seriously all this talk goes on about the **AA's plight to exploit and inability to adapt to reality but whats getting done about it? If anything, i sure haven't heard about it. Something needs to happen other than a thousands of "fix the music industry" plans on people's blogs and discussions in forums. Maybe not a MLAA but, i dunno, a boycott or something.
