It seems like you're jumping straight to a conspiracy as the explanation, which does not seem supported by any evidence whatsoever. Why in the world would these supposed Gatekeepers gatekeep away a technology that would provide a massive competitive advantage? Wouldn't they instead do exactly what they've been doing for decades and just buy up this hypothetical new technology? That sure seems to be what Apple is doing; there's an entire wiki page dedicated to Apple acquisitions and what Apple products were derived from it. Why would they suddenly flip into suppressing something better rather than just repeating their standard practice? Perhaps the more plausible answer is that nobody has come up with an interface that beats the smart phone for the general population?
