I'm not a lawyer, but... (My father was, hehe)

For all practical purposes, the market is closed and developers really 
do, as a practical observation, have to distribute through Apple in 
order to reach the platform. I suspect Apple's lawyers are more likely 
to press the "they can make it function in a browser (despite the user 
experience issues implied) therefore this is merely a permissible 
inconvenience" argument.

I'd say this is my two cents, but being speculation rather than opinion 
it's worth even less than that :D
