Precisely. Jobs didn’t want to be at the mercy of anyone else’s priority, strategies or convenience.
Remember: Adobe was dragging its feet on MacOS because why bother, Windows PC is the market, iPhone was mostly welcomed as a “won’t fly” and Flash for iOS would have been another drama of unfixed vuls, shoddy performance and battery drain. (I guess everyone forgot or wasn't still around, reminder: https://www.extremetech.com/computing/134551-why-flash-failed-on-android-and-what-it-means-for-adobe https://www.extremetech.com/computing/134551-why-flash-faile...)
Not unreasonable to imagine Google making Chrome engine prio 1 on Android and “perhaps later” on iOS.
You can imagine how well Jobs took that.
