I’m not talking about the end user caring about browsing engine, I’m really talking about the technology risks.
If Apple allows Chrome based on Chromium, Google or other tech giants could basically pull a Microsoft in the 90s and make their websites not work on Safari. “Sorry, Office Online only works on Edge” or “Gmail for web only works on Chrome” would basically snuff out Safari.
By forcing everyone to use the WebKit rendering engine, iOS is a giant lever that keeps Apple relevant and influential when it comes to steering web tech and standards.
