Ask your LLM for details but

TLDR

Apple since mid 2024 was forced by EU and Japan to allow other engines.

There are hurdles but the path is open.

Both Chrome / Blink and Firefox / Gecko have made prototypes but haven’t moved past that.

It seems that there is no money or will to see it through.

So it’s not all “Apple bad doesn’t allow it”

No, mate. You need to provide details. The onus is on you to support your claim.
