Bray was trying to say that, I assume, but not exactly clearly. These quotes easily cause confusion about what he is describing:

"Apple apparently thinks you can have the benefits of the Internet while at the same time controlling what programs can be run and what parts of the stack can be accessed and what developers can say to each other."
