Short answer: No market share = no search engine revenue By: 1. Eliminating browsers ability to differentiate itself 2. Forcing additional costs on the browser vendors to have to develop a second browser specifically for iOS 3. By reserving functionality exclusively for Safari 4. By eroding third party browsers market share by self-preferencing Safari (default install, couldn't set another default browser until recently etc etc)

Ah you mean unlike Google which pushed its browser through its dominant search, dominant mail, dominant video hosting etc. Which sabotaged Firefox. Which still conveniently "forgets" user choice of browsers in its apps and defaults to Chrome?
