Ah, yes, because if you don't want to take the time to learn objective C, you're a crappy developer? Is that right? I never said anything like that—however, since we're on the subject, I will say that if you're an iPhone developer [1] and you don't want to learn the correct way of making apps, you're most likely going to make some very crappy apps. [1]: By that I mean anybody making an iPhone app.

(The reason that the sentence had a question mark at the end was because I was asking you a question.) Why? Why can't iPhone developers make web apps instead?

  Why? Why can't iPhone developers make web apps instead? Fully leveraging the platform to create great apps requires using the APIs the platform provides, such as: * Using GameCenter for peer-to-peer head-to-head game matchup over bluetooth and local wifi. * Using Airdrop for immediate no-configuration, no-network entirely local file sharing. * Using GCD to take advantage of the iPad2's multiple cores, and implement high-performance I/O (see iOS 5). * etc, etc. Non-native platform shims (such as webapps) will always be behind native applications when it comes to taking advantage of the vendor's OS platform enhancements and differentiative features.
