Apple is no more stubborn than other console manufacturers (let's face it, the iPad and iPod touch are really just hand held consoles). Hacking and piracy rates on the iDevices are no higher than other consoles, in the fact piracy rates are much higher on the Nintendo DS. Many people like to hack and jailbreak the Xbox's, DS, Wii etc. Probably the main thing these people want is free games, which, as you say, is "too damn tempting".
Does Apple "deserve what it gets". No more so than its competitors, I think. But piracy does not hurt Apple or Nintendo, but small developers.
