Apple doesn't allow third party browsers using their own renderers in their iOS devices.

  They don't have a monopoly to abuse.

    They have a local monopoly on their hardware. It's like cable companies: there may be several of them in a country but if there's only one in each city, they have a local monopoly that they can abuse.

      Your individual hardware is not like a city. Poor analogy. This is like saying that your microwave manufacturer has a monopoly on your microwave. Just buy another microwave.

        I installed Linux on my microwave. Just kidding. I wish I could though.

  My third-party iOS browser uses its own renderer and they don't seem to have issues with it. However, it is designed for niche cases and does not implement the full W3C spec., so I guess that is what they really have issues with?
