Apple's "veto power over new web technologies"

John Gruber, on Apple's incredible power over the web:As a side note, I think this is more or less what is happening, whether the web community likes it or not, because this largely seems to describe Safari/WebKit's approach to moving forward - and Safari, because of iOS in particular - effectively gives Apple veto power over new web technologies.
