This is actually really interesting. Bravo to the Edge team.

And if I remember correctly, writeable memory pages were the main reason why iOS banned browsers like firefox from embedding their own rendering engines.

Perhaps this kind of approach could address such concerns and enable other rendering engines.

Well, like the real reason is that the web is a threat to the app store. So, likely we'd just see some new excuse (if they even bother)

Ironically, in the early days Apple was redirecting developers to the web to build apps for the iPhone. But then it seems they discovered a money minting model.

How haven’t they been hit with antitrust action over that?

The antitrust laws are a dead letter.

Facebook buying two of their competitors resulting in crickets.
