Like I said, U can do that to any device. Remove the OS and replace it with something else.

That could absolutely be done on an iphone if someone put in the effort. Instead they are hacking the OS on the phone. When they jailbreak the phone, they are hacking the OS while it is still on the device.
They have a working bootloader. We have seen that. There is nothing stopping them from taking the OS, tweaking it, and then reinstalling it.
I guess it's just easier for them to hack it how they want it without installing a bootloader.
Let Apple start releasing newer versions of the OS that they don't release for some models. Then you'll see that OS getting tweaked and installed. They have had an official update to the newest version of the OS for every single phone. Winmo doesn't work that way. The newer phones get the newer OS and the older phones get hacked to run it anyway.
I wouldn't say that makes the iPhone more secure though. Not when the iPhone has a working bootloader just the same as an HTC hard spl.
