In that case you must be strongly opposing Linux as well, seeing that Linus Torvalds rejects kernel contributions written in Pascal or C#.
The owner of a platform may and must set limitations and boundaries to what goes on and what doesn't on the platform. You can't expect it to be a free for all, not even Linux is (and neither is a Hippie commune for that matter).
Jobs has put forward what many consider sound technical reasons for why Flash is not suitable (even harmful) for mobile computing devices, and hence wants to keep it off the mobile platforms Apple created. If that keeps you from accepting the platform or even accepting its right to exist then there isn't a lot in this world that you'd get along with.
