It depends. Power efficiency on Safari with iOS is quite optimized and many features are integrated to iOS. E.g. some authentication workflows to Apple services

  Why does that matter, though? Web developers don't assume the entire world is "Safari on iOS". They have to handle all the various desktop browsers, as well as everything that runs on Android. If it's not possible to do a particular Apple-specific authentication workflow in Firefox on iOS, then users will fall back to whatever else is already implemented for other platforms. If users don't like how Firefox or Chrome on iOS drain their battery, then they'll stop using them and go back to Safari. Giving people more choice doesn't hurt.

My comment might have been in wrong place, but the point was that it is difficult to be competitive with Firefox or Chrome on iOS if Safari integrates better on Apple systems. And what if implementing these impacts other platforms.
