This is not one of the reasons -- though I admit it's much "juicy-er". You can write apps in HTML5 and bypass the app store -- as Google did with Google voice. Apple wouldn't let the app in the store -- Google rewrote it as a web app.

There are also all manner of free apps in the app store. If Apple was so interested in getting money for every flash game, why would they allow free apps in the App Store?

I believe out of the 6 points that Jobs wrote -- the main one was the desire to keep cross platform apps off the iPhone. He wants developers to develop FOR the iPhone/iPad -- he's not interested in being a 'me to' platform running the same apps everyone else does.
