Nobody is arguing that currently Apple is not largely a hardware company. But Jobs has been diversifying for years and moving away from computers. He is looking at content as a potentially important revenue source, and has a long term plan to to capture a portion of every dollar spent on content within Apple's walled garden.
Nothing necessarily wrong with this, if you like "company towns."
But more importantly to this discussion, it serves to explain many of the restrictions imposed on the iPad/iPhone ecosystem, including the lack of Flash and Java.
