They need non-Chrome browsers to exist, to avoid accusations of a monopoly. Chromium is arguably a strategy around this, where you can have a bunch of browsers using the same (Google controlled) infrastructure.

Safari is an exception, since Apple won't accept giving that up in their products.

They don't need anything other than firefox or safari. All new browsers could be blocked as they are unknown/untrusted.

And if you want to build a new one - you cannot test against a very common use case.
