The claim is laughable because this policy makes it impossible for external developers to step in and address fundamental, inexcusable problems with WebKit, such as the fact it's written in C++ and therefore produces a consistent supply of memory corruption bugs year after year.
Also, I'm skeptical of the notion that every type of app except web browsers can be meaningfully screened for security. How can one not interpret this as a tacit admission that the screening process is close to worthless?

Are you under the impression that Chromium and Gecko are not written in C++? Mozilla has been using _some_ Rust but the modern browser engines are some of the largest, most complicated C++ codebases in existence and your statement applies to all of them.
