Those are pretty basic functions that Apple just locks you into. iOS would not have to be open source for those things to change… At all.

That wasn't my point. My point was that all those requests are feature requests, as opposed to lifting some artificial restrictions. Because iOS is not open source, they would need to be coded by Apple, so it's a perfectly valid business decision on their sise not to invest in them.

Macos is not open source. You can use Firefox as your default browser.
