I really wish this too. Unfortunately, I am not sure the anticompetitiveness of Apple's behaviour regarding web browser engines — and its implication on the entire app industry — has been brought to the attention of EU lawmakers...
For those not familiar with this issue, Apple is totally blocking browsers (like Firefox and Chrome) to use their own engine on iOS, preventing them to give web application access to native features, like push notification. Because of course, Apple won't add these features to their own engine (WebKit).
That way, they are forcing app developers to develop native iOS apps, which have to go through their App Store to be installed on iOS. By doing so, they can take the 30% commission fee on in-app purchases, and lock developers/companies in, because apps developed for iOS are not usable outside of Apple devices, of course.
