Especially considering that old versions of Chromium are likely to have more security vulnerabilities.
On the iOS platform, Apple essentially forbids the use of any browser engine other than the WebKit/Nitro engine provided by the OS itself. From the user's point of view this has the advantage of guaranteeing the absence of old and vulnerable browser engines on their system (provided they're up to date with iOS updates, and of course provided Apple hold up their end and maintain their software well).
As AnIdiotOnTheNet points out, this requires app vendors to stay on top of testing their app as the iOS browser engine is updated by Apple.
