I'm a big Zed Shaw fan, and I plan on sending a rant to this site, but I have to disagree with him here. The real issue isn't that they're forcing developers to use C. The real issue is that they're forcing developers to conform to an arbitrary standard. If people can write apps in Lua or C# that build and run on the phone, and that meet Apple's quality standards to get into the App Store, why should they care? What business is it of Apple's to tell independent iPhone developers how to do their jobs? So, if I were going to write a rant about this, I'd write one about assholes who are too nosy about how I use the stuff they sold me. That might just be me though.
