> it could be argued that Apple was intentionally stifling the capabilities of the browser to enforce the profitability of the App Store

Given the number of apps these days that are basically nothing more than thin shims around a mobile site, they're not doing a good job then, are they?

That doesn't make any sense as a response. You're claiming that Apple have been neutering Webkit to force people to make apps but people are making apps that are mobile sites using Webkit which belies your claim.
