New iPhone Developer Agreement Bans the Use of, among others, Adobe’s Flash-to-iPhone Compiler

I don't think this is anti-competitive. I think this is a strategic decision to ensure that developers are required to learn and use Apple core technologies, in hopes that they will leverage that knowledge into further iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and Mac apps. It's restrictive, so misguided and will likely ultimately backfire, but it's not an unjustified business decision.
