Chrome also can't cement itself on Chrome because of the anticompetitive browser rules Apple baked into iOS approval policies. That's why Chrome on iOS isn't actually Chrome. It's just a Chrome UI on top of Mobile Safari renderrer with the faster JS engine disabled so Safari itself maintains better performance against all comers.

They're stuck just using Safari without Nitro like all* other browsers on iOS. * except Opera which was doing page rendering on a server farm in the cloud to get around the anti-competitive rules.
