That's more than a bit of a stretch. More like, Apple cares about the security of their sandbox and having exclusive control over the sale of software on their platform, and doesn't see the need to include a feature that a) practically guarantees security vulnerabilities, b) weakens their control over content for iOS, and c) users don't really care about at the moment.

Apple: Dead and done for because they made a sane decision. You heard it here first, folks.
