Well that's a nice try but I don't have to create anything to see through the BS. I just have to use some products this guy of yours created.
HTML5 was nowhere near the capability for interactive apps for a long time. And flash was, just look at those flash game websites, 1000s of them there. His attempt to make the whole argument about videos and not about preserving his walled garden that is app store is as dishonest as the rest of their typical marketing bullshit.

Well maybe that's the problem right there. They were great from a business standpoint (aka getting fat asses fatter), never from user standpoint. Those products enslaved their users because they are closed down annoying i-know-what-you-need-and-dont-need-better-than-you pieces of trash.
It's also ironic that you use this quote:
> Do you create anything
Did he? Or someone else did for him to sell with his holier-than-thou marketing?
Original iPhone supported offline HTML5 apps, with home screen icons and full app saved to home screen ... and iOS still supports that. Yes, you can still distribute purely open apps that work offline to iOS devices outside the app store with zero approvals from Apple or anyone.
Developers preferred the app store even for “apps” that are nothing but a web window, not just about APIs etc.
So Jobs is onto something with the “a product is a package of emphasis” and the market decides.
Sounds like you don’t like the market, which as Jobs noted in that quote, is everything outside the valley bubble.
