Jobs didn't want apps at all but he was eventually convinced they were needed, late in the iPhone development cycle. So rather than announce the native tools early (they wouldn't ship for another year) they tried to sell web apps in the meantime. Typical Apple release process, even though it's detrimental to them and their users.

While I do resent a lot of Apple's lies and anti-user, anti-developer actions, I would give them a pass in this instance because they were inventing an industry-changing development ecosystem and they did so very, very well.
