Yours is not the only comment I see here that eventually comes down to the OS discussion. We are supposedly talking about Safari, yet Safari is tied to iOS not to the hardware. People can install Brave or Firefox on Android. But they are not ever satisfied. I don't have the numbers, but I suspect the sum of GrapheneOS and other de-Googled Android distributions might be bigger than the sum of Firefox and Brave on regular Android. In the end, maybe Apple should just allow you to download some software that voids your warranty and roots the iPhone, while removing iOS. People can then reverse engineer and do whatever they want. But Apple's drivers and some of the chips are proprietary, and that I don't see a way people would convince regulators to enforce them to open-source those.
