The whole concept of a multi-platform framework is anti-innovation, anti-diversity: Its only purpose is to generalize, to make make everything uniform and the same by removing everything special, removing that which differentiates, that which makes the difference. It's about "think alike", "Move together".
Sharing code is probably the most important way that devices can work together.

Explain to me please how 'shared open standards' are fundamentally different to 'multi-platform frameworks'? Isn't the purpose of both to 'generalize, to make make everything uniform and the same'. Of course there are disadvantages is standardising on anything. HTML5 and Javascript certainly have limitations but in a great many cases the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Actually that's Apple. Other platforms allow you to choose and open standards/platforms merely encourage you to cooperate but Apple actively prohibits choice.

Small wonder Apple doesn't accept it.
