It’s not so simple because Apple makes it part of a larger security policy which concerns all methods of running custom code on iOS, including emulators, browser engines, shell terminals, programming languages etc. It also makes an exception for teaching apps under certain conditions. So it’s not easy to argue that it’s aimed specifically at subverting browser competition.

Sure, that’s very easy to argue. If they don’t want “anyone’s” software to run, then they need to offer a certification process. Without making that hilariously hard or expensive of course.

  Why do they need to offer a certification process?

    Security can’t be a reason for locking out all competition.
