Sure, it's not arbitrary, but you didn't nail the actual reason: to make money.
If Apple was actually concerned about circumventing the App Store review process for the purposes of security, they would implement OS-level sandboxing and security models (e.g. something capability-like) - this is both far more secure and allows for more freedom to make apps.
But they don't, because it's not about security - it's about profit.

Don't they, really? I was under the impression that they do implement OS-level sandboxing and the ban on JIT/arbitrary execute is another level of security.
