Odd, considering web-based apps can do exactly that. I use several apps 
that must download data from a server before they are usable.

This definitely isn't true, since many games have embedded scripting 
systems such as Lua. They seriously back-pedaled on this one after the 
huge out-cry from game developers. There is even a full-featured Python 
interpreter app in the store right now.

You shouldn't worry too much about this.
