Why should they? WebKit was developed by Apple, and is deeply integrated in the OS.

It was originally developed as part of KDE (KHTML), although Apple have obviously done a lot with it since.

Yup, it’s a fork of KHTML, much like Blink is a fork of Webkit.

One thing that WebKit does better than other browsers on OSX is hooking into the native rendering APIs. That’s something that Firefox does a shoddy job at.
