Just the mere existence of WebKit keeps up Browser diversity. It's probably the one reason most websites have not adopted a "use Chrome or go away" model. Many were happy to adopt a "be in a country without GDPR or go away" model, so would that really be a stretch?
I do think Apple should lose their walled garden, but it should be pretty hard to "unlock" an iPhone to keep coersion down. Maybe make it slightly more easy if you only trust one extra vendor, like Epic. They'll do it one way or another.
While it's not perfect and AppStore review really needs to step it up, there are still some unique qualities there, especially for people that would never ever "choose" a browser - they just use whatever they have.
