Sure. I don't remember saying they couldn't. And I am not saying that Jobs is completely wrong. Mostly he seems bitter for the lack of Mac OS support over the years.
So what do you want? Do you want the Flash Player to be open source?
For the same reason the Flash Player isn't open source, the iPhone / iPad isn't open source.
This is where I take issue with Apple:
I can use anything I want to write AS3 code and publish and swf for the Flash Player. I don't need Adobe software - in fact, I could use software from another vendor if I was so inclined.
But Apple is forcing you to use Apple products to create apps. Their developer program doesn't even have instructions for anyone NOT using an Apple OS.
