Really? I Never got a weird message from Apple about other browsers being bad or potentially dangerous, and I tried Vivaldi, DDG, Brave, Firefox, Firefox Focus, and I currently have DDG set as my main browser. And of course I can delete Safari from my iphone if I wanted to.

You don't get that message from Apple, but the people who would otherwise offer you a meaningful choice of browsers do. They can only do what Apple permits them to do, which isn't much.

  They need to get their browsers listed on AppStore, sure.

    Or to put it another way, they can only do what Apple permits them to do.

    Apple prohibits JITs outside the EU, and this makes a modern browser a non-starter.

Indeed, because you are actually still using Safari under the hood.

  Does it count as Safari in stats? If it did, they’d have a 100% market share, wouldn’t they?

  Not in the EU

    AFAIK only on paper? At least, last time I checked, there were no non-WebKit browsers available yet (at least not Gecko or Blink).
