You can compile your own browser and install it. People act as if Apple is sending the police if they install an App that doesn't meet Apple's guidelines. Limitations are about the distribution on the App Store.

Not really; you're basically limited to WebKit if you want acceptable performance.

Why would that be? Does Tim Cook pray at nights to slow down other peoples code on iPhone?

It's your code and it will run as fast as you make it, you can't expect Apple to make your code as good as WebKit.

No, but the security team tries their best to keep unsigned, dynamically generated code (such as what might come out of your browser's JIT JavaScript engine) from running.
