There is no hypocrisy here. At no point does Jobs say "proprietary software is always bad". Even the very next sentence is "Apple has many proprietary products too." This is not some dirty secret they're trying to cover up at all.
The point is that he is specifically taking about the web being open. Again: at no point does he say being proprietary or closed is inherently a bad thing. Only being so in the context of the web they consider bad. And Apple's actions in the context of the web support that.
