While the look and feel of OS X and iOS are different, the processing behind the GUI is essentially the same, making integration are the core significantly easier.
I agree that iTunes is severly lacking - and unfortunately, that is the most user-facing integration interface Apple has.

Then we're talking Apples and Oranges here (sorry, had to do that).
What Microsoft is working towards is all your applications and data on or accessible to all devices with a similar GUI. The idea is you own a PC, laptop, tablet & phone and they are all synchronized.
Apple does NOT have anything like that. And even trying to transfer data to Apple devices is extremely difficult. My sister gave up her iPad for a Galaxy Note 8.0 once I showed her the Galaxy would do what she wants (act like a sub-micro Laptop).
Android is trying. But since they don't have a Desktop that anyone is seriously using, they aren't in the running.
My intermediate solution is using the Galaxy S4 & Galaxy Note 8 with a Windows Desktop.
