That doesn’t make a lot of sense. Apple (famously or infamously) has no problem adding features that formerly only third party apps had.
Apple sells devices first and is middleman for developers second. Apple makes their money with devices.
If Apple doesn’t integrate a feature they would like to, the reason is much more likely that they don’t want to scare off developers, not (the small) lost revenue and (the even smaller) lost profit. (Considering the massive amounts of people writing software for iOS, that’s something Apple currently doesn’t have to worry about all that much.)
Apple will always want to make their devices more attractive for consumers. I don’t think that developers have priority for them (at least compared to consumers).
