Lots of straw men, lots of flawed premises. Google didn't choose Java because of VM security, they chose it because everyone on the planet knows it. Can the same be said for Objective-C?

But every step of the way, they're going to have this giant anchor of [UniConf] Dalvik tied around their neck, and Apple won't

Kinda like... Objective-C and a limited library?

It's not clear that Objective-C is hampering developer uptake of the App Store.
