The conspiracy-minded might suspect that the real reason for this might have been to keep web view based apps inconvenient to develop, and poorly performing, to nudge developers towards native ObjC-based apps. Which are coincidentally harder to port to other platforms.

It would, however, indeed be paranoid and crazy.

The WebKit developers spend all day trying to drive the web forward. That's what they do. They're not pulling their punches. Try hanging out in #webkit on irc for a bit and see if you think they want the web to lose to native.
