For example, I can't even download themes and ringtones. That's nothing but laziness on the part of the admin in any policy (even with company owned devices). They didn't take the time to ban just those items that pose a security threat, and instead banned everything.

My network, my support staff. When you call because your device is not working properly, I don't want to try to guess what 3rd party apps conflict, how many ringtones are eating up the memory, etc. Security and support is why we impose restrictions on ALL computing devices in my shop.
