Apparently the big selling point for the iPhone is that it can run small applications. So it is in Apple's best interests to make it easier for developers to add value to the iPhone as a platform. They shouldn't use it as a way to get all developers to buy Mac machines, and they certainly shouldn't put up barriers to publishing apps or running them. If the ads said "we've approved an app for that" as opposed to "there's an app for that", the process becomes less exciting and more obviously another way for Apple to keep control of what you own.

PS - You can "jailbreak" your iPhone to run whatever you want.
PPS - Apple is trying to put a stop to that, too.

up til this post, I wanted an iPhone. Now never mind...
Well, I guess my post is kind of one-sided. The iPhone is a neat little machine, and the data contracts it comes on put all other phone contracts to shame (except in terms of price). And only some applications get banned by Apple for having "offensive" content. I've used an iPhone briefly, and I'm certain it would do just about everything I needed on the go.
