Exactly. And as you say by the strict wording of the EULA they violate it. If Apple doesn't enforce it then the EULA clause isn't valid and wouldn't stand up in court, which means a lawsuit might succeed based on those grounds.
They could alter the EULA to say any app developed in a framework that hides native APIs, but that would basically encompass everything since every app developed beyond hello world has some kind of abstraction from the native APIs to the actual app logic.. that's the whole point of good programming is to make it easier for yourself rather than having your whole app being one big loop in a single file of code. So they can't word it like that either.
