Preventing other rendering engines is Apple trying to leverage the strength of its iOS platform to help control the future of the internet. Nothing more, nothing less.
I can understand their wanting to have some say on what may be the sole future platform, but lets not pretend it's for some altruistic reason.

I doubt they would have a problem with someone implementing their own DOM rendering engine within their own app. The real restriction is on executing JavaScript, scripting language execution isn't allowed except around some exceptions for Lua in game engines.
