@brucelawson @owa Here's Apple trying to duck responsibility for forcing use of all the same stuff everywhere by citing [ checks notes ] it's own UI and API choices:

You can't make this stuff up folks. In claiming that Safari and in-app browsers have nothing to do with each other, Apple claims: "For example, in-app browsing technologies generally do not allow for internet searches or website navigation via a URL bar—core features of any browser. In-app browsing technologies serve the simpler purpose of enabling native apps to facilitate access to web content for end users without disrupting their experience by sending them to a standalone browser. This is illustrated by widespread use of SFSafariViewController that far exceeds the number of standalone browser apps on Apple’s UK App Store (c. 20,000 apps using SFSafariViewController vs. 100 browsers)"
