What "other extension API" is Apple still allowing, making this a poor justification? You might be thinking of Google, which is allowing other gigantic gaping hole APIs while nerfing their content blocking, but Apple is being pretty consistent and doesn't also derive most of their income from advertising.

You are correct, however until Apple relaxes the rule that “[a]pps that browse the web must use the iOS WebKit framework and WebKit Javascript”, they should be held to a higher standard.
