Users can already choose chrome on iOS and most of them have no idea what a browser engine is so why should we suppose allowing another browser engine would make them any more likely to stop using safari?

Once browsers with alternative engines are available, developers can just drop a "Works best in Chrome" badge (just like the "Designed for IE" badges from the 90s) on the page and call it a day, putting the onus on users to install a compatible browser.
