Apple invests a lot into Safari today.
The reason you don't think so is because you are likely equating developer features with investment. But actually Apple just has different priorities which are security, privacy and battery life. They aren't trying to push more pro-advertising features like Google is or turn the browser into an operating system.
It is delusional to think that if Chrome becomes more popular that they are suddenly going to abandon their values.

Last time, I don’t know what exactly happened, but I had to reboot my MacBook because the system wouldn’t recognize the camera anymore after trying to join a video conference in Safari, not even in other browsers. Never experienced something like this in any other browser. Many work tools such as Confluence, MS Teams and Google Docs just work better in Chrome. I wish I could switch, and I retry after each major release, but it’s just not good enough yet. I always end up switching back to Chrome after 1-2 days. If Microsoft and Mozilla can do better why can’t Apple?
