There were already multiple good libre browser engines: KHTML, Gecko, and (kind of) the Tcl one.
Apple forked one in a hostile fashion, and later used it to release proprietary software.
A substantial volume of web browsers, including the largest two (Chrome, Safari), are proprietary software, directly because of this.
It made the WWW less free, and hurt users.
