I disagree with your conclusions based on the facts that Apple has nothing to gain by porting iPhoto to Windows. The argument of control is flawed in this case as, other than as a transfer medium (transferring photos from the PC to the Apple TV), the use of Adobe apps doesn't control anything. Unlike the use of MusicMatch which would have had to include an interface and purchasing solution for the iTMS. iTunes for Windows represents the perfect "razor and blade" scenario for Apple: Give away the software so that users get locked into the iPod/iTMS model. As we all know, that worked out pretty well. Conversely, other than selling some photo printing solutions via iPhoto, there's no real return. Unless Apple developed a proprietary photo/camera format (which would be suicide), there's no reason to try and lock Windows users into iPhoto.
