#3Whatever your personal thoughts are on iOS and Apple, you can't deny that it's amazing how fast Apple can push through new updates which is a good thing for both developers who can rely on a larger userbase for new APIs and security.

#4Maybe it's just me, but 'adoption' sounds like a purely voluntary action. Don't mean to sound negative, but is there a word with less negative connotation than 'infection'?

Maybe, but the Apple Wave feature alone is worth upgrading! http://i.imgur.com/TX9dbK6.jpg

Why do you believe ios8 is being forced on people?

#7I sold an iPhone not long ago, one that still had iOS 6. Seems that it sold at a bit of a premium, and that was the likely reason.

Full version upgrades always prompt the user.

Even more amazing to me is the high rate of adoption given how massive the download (~4GB) was. I had to clean up apps from my 64GB ipad to make room (though with 64GB, I tend to carelessly collect apps, and Amazon Instant video will just download tens of GB if I'm not careful). Anecdotally, I can think of a couple friends this past month in which, on a normal day, had to stop taking pictures/selfies because their phone HD was too full...It's easy enough to delete GB of movies, but photos?
It doesn't help that deleting media/apps just from the phone is a pain in the ass, and syncing with iTunes is arcane even to a longtime iOS/Apple user as myself. So I have to imagine this 46% are the folks who happen to have well-maintained disk space...but 4GB won't be trivial for people with 16GB phones that have collected music/photos/video for a couple years now.

Sometimes my custom keyboard disappears (using SwiftType). Numeric unlock in Cloud Magic doesn't work; I have to close and reopen. I have 2 apps with swipeable photo-galleries that get "stuck" and cant' swipe (one of which has released a big iOS 8 update and still has behavior). (These may be app issues, not OS necessarily, but that's mostly irrelevant)
