I'm confused (and have never really heard this theory). Is there anything to support this from Apple or Jobs? Plan A (at least publicly) was that web apps were the only apps on the iPhone. Were these rules and the App Store a reaction to that or would have Apple kept web apps crippled in Safari?

Initially Jobs was against all apps, and wanted just mildly useful webapps running in their crippled JavaScript engine. Then they allowed apps but with many UX restrictions like no drawing UI outside the view etc. Nothing that could infringe on the core interaction models of iOS.
