That’s not what I see. I see people constantly calling for the ability to run other browsers (really Chrome) on iOS.

I almost never see people trying to get Google’s massive browser share reduced.

If you do one without the other I expect disaster.

That was the point of my comment. I want the “open web” people (in general, not just this org) to call for BOTH. But I don’t see that.

Open Web Advocacy does address anti-competitive practices from Google. See their submission to the Japanese regulator: https://open-web-advocacy.org/files/OWA%20-%20HDMC%20(Japan)...

Section 3.1.7 - No Chrome Preferencing and section 3.1.8 - Website Transparency Obligations.
