This sounds like another annoying thing that apple has done that is actually the RIGHT thing. Much like ostracising flash. Decisions like this will get developers thinking twice about using flash or javascript indiscriminantly, even if it is for the wrong reasons of appealing to Apple users rather than security, speed and stability. As troubling as their choke chain is, I'm glad there are some instances in which Apple are using their popularity to accelerate technically well thought-out change for everyone, not just their customers. It's still not enough to make me buy their products though.
