If you don't see Jobs's writings on the subject as emotionally overwrought appeals ("We have to keep our platform pure to protect you, our loyal user!"), we'll have to agree to disagree.
This is exactly like a "Won't somebody think of the children?" appeal. What else do you call it when the company rejects both a programming tool and a dictionary for "bad language?"

If you want to make a case that they are making emotionally overwrought appeals, you should have the decency to provide a direct quote to make your case. Abusing quotations marks by putting them around your own subjective interpretation just tells me that you've got nothing to offer.
