I think this is off the mark. Apple's point is obviously for the connector to be proprietary, so they can charge you extra for it, and collect plenty of dosh from any manufacturer of iThinghy accessories. There is absolutely no reason it couldn't have been done with microUSB - after all, you can get audio and video out of microUSB, connect mass storage devices and peripherals like keyboards and mice and even remote control a DSLR.
