It's not the same case.
The allegation back then was that Microsoft was abusing monopoly power on Intel PCs in order to achieve victory in the browser wars. Also, an Intel executive even testified that the intent of Microsoft was indeed to kill Netscape.
Neither of those things have happened here: Apple doesn't have monopoly power on cell phones, nor has achieved victory in a new browser wars due to bundling Safari.
Whether new browsers (or browser engines, to be more precise) can be installed in iOS or not is a different matter altogether. Remember that back in the day it was possible to install Netscape on Windows, and Microsoft still got fire for it.
