No, I think you are really mistaken about what Air is doing. It is specifically *NOT* designed to provide native functionality. It is designed to show media content on a lot of different platforms.
Well, users (and Apple) expect a certain functionality to be present that is global across all apps for a particular platform. Scroll behavior for text, orientation changes, etc.. I disagree that "cross-platform" means you're expected to "roll your own" UI interface and behavior. Especially for the basics!
I suppose games are much easier to deal with in this regard, because you build your UI based on the game theme, but for anything and everything else, you really need to build-in a faux OS UI. The UIWebView ANE, at least, has been a life-saver in regards to handling video and text properly on iOS.
