iOS is not a feasible long-term solution to browser monoculture. It's just not. And the (heavy quotes) "equilibrium" between Chrome and Safari is not really want we want, we don't want 2 giant corporate browsers, we want diversity.
Google is currently involved in a potentially historic antitrust lawsuit in the United States over its search engine dominance. Maybe after that's done we should look at Chrome under the same lens. You don't have to pick a winner and loser and decide whether you're going to carry Apple's water or Google's water. You can just break them both up and force both of the companies to stop doing anticompetitive crap.
It's so dystopian to look at the current browser duopoly and to say, "well, which of these two companies do I want to rule over me, I have to pick one of them." We are capable of better.
