So if Mozilla decides maintaining gecko isn't worth it, and switches to blink too, then it's basically just Safari and Chrome, and both would have to agree on standardization?

It’s kind of already the case.

Functionally mobile safari is the only thing stopping google having complete control of the web platform, just as MS did in the days of IE4-6.

There are a bunch of standards that google has proposed that are horrific for user privacy, and I would fully expect all google properties to become dependent on them if they didn’t have to care about mobile safari.
