My main issue with this, it's how the "only one web engine" creates an unnecessary e-waste, creating artificially obsolete devices. I have an old iPad, I get that Apple doesn't want to support it anymore, fair enough. But a regular user can't install a new browser (without breaking the TOS) despite the hardware still working fine, it's not fast, but it's usable. The problem: Safari (or iOS Chrome/Firefox) is only updated alongside the main OS. And the thing doesn't support new web standards (CSS Grid and flexbox websites don't work well, and let's not get started with video/image codecs or new JS APIs). Android (that it's far from perfect) at least allows you to install the last available browser independently of the OS version you have, even non-blink browsers. With 3rd party engines, Apple could allow a lot of old devices still be usable despite their age. Which sounds bad in the short term for Apple, but imagine situations like a kid buying an old iPad from a pawn shop, learn how to use it, and when he gets a better budget, buy a new one with the OS he is already familiar. For reference, until 5 months ago "TenFourFox" (a firefox fork) for the PowerPC line of Macs, was still getting updates. Besides, alongside with other business practices, this it's Apple almost screaming "please do me an antitrust audit" with the Epic case so close. I mean, IE almost broke Microsoft in the 90s.
