I kind of hope they hold out against alternative browsers. Safari on iOS is the last thing stopping a total takeover by Blink.

They can't. The DMA requires permitting alternate browser engines. See Section 43: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A...

I'm fine with it. Apple has been intentionally hindering WebKit development for years to hobble web apps and maintain their App Store dominance. They'll finally be forced to compete again.
