Yes you can.
Install Google Music and it asks you which folders to pull your music from. Set it to the same folder iTunes uses. You'll have all your music on any google device or interent and can even pin music or playlists in case you lose network. Change phones or get a new Android device? Just log in and instantly its all there. No need to plug into iTunes/PC or anything else and wait hours for it all to replicate on your device.
Install Picasa and allow it to upload stuff to your Google+ (which has far better privacy and sharing settings than FB or anything else). Again ALL of your pics/videos are available on any device instantly forever.
Additionally, all android devices have usb connections and act like any usb device when connected to a PC. You could also just copy/paste or use a 3rd party app... again freedom of choice to do want you feel most comfortable with... to allow instant sync of any media you wish... even from iTunes.
Android fragmentation is only a concern for a developer. A user has a nearly endless set of free options to do anything you wish. Pick what fits you best... and they can also be easily migrated from device to device or PC to Pc without any major connections or upload/downloading. Including your docs too.

Exactly. I have to install all this stuff to do something that I could easily do with just connecting a USB Cord to my Mac.
That's also another thing; I have a Mac. Androids and Macs aren't the best of friends.

You have a mac and therefore get iTunes forced on you and bolded is exactly my point. Apple forces your hand for better or worse.
Android, Windows, Linux, etc allow you freedom to pick and choose what ever you want. Apple forces you to use their products.
But I'm not trying to convince you to change. Just stating that there are other options that are equal or better depending on your preference.
I prefer to walk out of a store with my new phone or tablet and only have to log in with my gmail account for it to nearly instantly have all my music, photos, videos, contacts, etc on my device. I don't want to have to go home and connect it to anything for hours while it replicates.
