But doesn't paying the 99$ tithe mean that I can list mobile programmer on my resume?

  That's completely missing the point: Kids should be introduced to open systems and learn the values it provides me, you and everyone. Kids should be on platforms where tinkering is allowed and encouraged. This is the way they learn. They should be on platforms where they cannot be "banned" for having fun. They definitly should not piped directly into a megacorp's cash-pipe from birth only to learn its one platform, its one language used only there and learn skills which only has value inside that megacorp's locked eco-system. That would be a very stupid and very bad thing to do to a kid. TLDR: iPhones considered harmful.

    Kids should be introduced to a variety of systems and platforms and given enough information to make up their own minds. I love the open source ideology and the tools which have grown out of it, but I can also appreciate that closed systems also have their own set of benefits (and drawbacks). TL;DR: Indoctrination considered harmful.
