It is bad enough that Apple is not offering memory card storage on the IOS devices- Apple doesn't offer a useful file manager with IOS, so why do they prevent third parties from offering this much needed function?

I've never found the need for either function. If those are important features to you, the iPad may not be the right choice for you.
No one here can speak for Apple. Speculation about Apple's policies and decisions is prohibited here.
Actually, my comments are about my needs- not yours. There are many good things to say about Apple. I love my Imac, but IOS may be aimed at people who are uncomfortable with managing their data, and Android may be the better solution. A silly situation for Apple to be in as they have no natural need to give customers a reason to buy a competitor's product. Perhaps there are real reasons for this situation- anyone else?
There is no file system in IOS so how do you think that file manager should work?
All apps are sandbox (security) and safe, that cannot be said about. Android.
The closed file system is part of the overall security design of iOS. If your needs are to have file management and low security you are correct Android would be a better choice for you.
Safe, yes. No file system? Really?
Ah, a trade off. Security for safety. Where have I seen this meme previously? I guess I wonder why the same precaution is not a part of the design of OSX.
No 3rd Party File Managers for IOS 8.3 and Up
