I'm guessing it's really hard to enable this for UIWebView without giving a billion more attack vectors for the jailbreakers.

  This seems to be exactly the case: http://daringfireball.net/2011/03/nitro_ios_43 http://daringfireball.net/2011/03/nitro_ios_43

  The only way to stop the jailbreakers is to not release the physical device. I suppose the jailbreakme.com website from iOS<=4.0.1 made jailbreaking extremely easy even for the non tech savvy, but even the "harder" jailbreaks are just programs that can easily be installed on Windows and they do everything for you.

    While you're most certainly right, Jailbreaks aren't hard as long as you don't accidentally update too soon, they're not plentiful enough that @comex et al can waste exploits yet with 0 day releases timed with Apple's releases. If they opened nitro access to non-mobile safari people, I'm guessing they would have tons. I honestly expect nitro access to open plenty of new avenues.

  The security doesn't exist just to stop jailbreakers. It's to stop worms, rootkits, etc.

    Oh most certainly. However, I'm going to say there is at least one serious security flaw out and published every release (the currently used one by jail breakers) that can be used access usually. Generally speaking, you can just use that one for worms, rootkits, etc if the web is your attack vector (not all of them are that easy to exploit unaware, but many of them are).
