The strongest counterpoint to this is, of course, the situation on macOS.
But beyond that, the extraordinary catch-up of the Safari team over the past ~18 months (contemporaneous to regulatory scrutiny by coincidence, I'm sure) regarding features that every other engine has, shows that this was all a choice.
The purse strings got loosened, and Safari got better. Apple doesn't need protection, and none of these features were beyond the pale, turns out.
