I'm not an iOS programmer, but I believe that in itself could present a few difficult issues on both the client and server end. Despite the potential for the problem to be solved, I think the real purpose in the article wasn't to say that a LaTeX based typesetter could never be implemented on tablets, but to demonstrate that implementing one wouldn't be so hard if the codebase was cleaner. I think it outlines one of the really fundamental issues in OSS today, in that everyone wants to build, but no one wants to clean up, leading to extremely powerful pieces of software like LaTeX, that no one person can reasonably read and port anymore.
