Apple is not defending browser engine choice

If that is not the case, why limit browser choice? Most will surely keep using it if it's rock solid.

I never used Safari as my main browser nor I hate it as a developer. I'm just talking about the argument here.

I suspect Apple also likes the idea of slow-rolling any feature/function that makes web applications compete more directly with native apps.

If you look at the WebKit/Safari Technology Preview releases over the past 6-12 months, it paints a different picture. They’ve significantly expanded the WebKit team and are (now) clearly invested in improving compatibility.

We have 40 years of worse-is-better history in computing to look at. Why even ask this question?

In what way does "Worse is better" counter the argument of "then let the users decide"?
