I beg you, beg you to read the very short article. It's Gruber's own bar for what he (John Gruber) will install on his phone, not the bar of the App Store reviewers.

I read it before writing my comment. I'm in agreement with Gruber in-principle, but vehemently disagree that his opinion justifies Apple's stance. Furthermore, I think he's excusing a harmful mentality that bolsters the actual problem, which is his lack of control over how APIs are called.

I couldn't have imagined a more Gruber-fied opinion had I ignored the two paragraphs and wrote off the article anyways. The dude is firing on a half-cylinder these days.
