Better Safari with buggy content blockers than Google blocking adblockers on mobile. Also, Safari has had much better JavaScript performance on iOS devices since at least the days of the A7-A8, looking at JS benchmark results relative to SPEC2006 results.

Firefox supports adblockers on mobile, and the functionality exceeds what Safari content blockers are able to achieve

Right, I mean on platforms other than iOS of course. That's why third party browser engines ought to be allowed, so that vendors like Mozilla would be able to provide those features on iOS too.

I never understood why that's the case; on Android you can submit your PWA to the Playstore easily via Trusted Web Activities - Apple could just do the same thing to monetize Webapps.. don't quite understand what's hindering them here

They don't want you to build PWAs at all. They want to lock you into their proprietary iOS APIs.

Because safari gets to use its own special source and everyother browser on iOS has to use an ios web view, doesn't it?

Safari’s web view is almost identical to the ones that third parties use.
