Try to write a python script and run it natively on the iPad, and we'll talk again if we live in the same universe.

I don't follow. Is Python the only programming language available? Is programmability determined by a device's ability to run python scripts natively?

That's an example. On any open device you can program in any language. There are no restrictions. The iPad is a walled garden and there are clear limits to what you can envision doing, embedded in the way it is designed and locked down.
