When Google decided to fork Webkit we should have all seen this coming. Safari and Chrome being on the same engine was great, now we are seeing more divergence since we have 3 main engines and more and more are only testing on Chrome.

Wouldn't it be the opposite? When Safari & Chrome were more similar you could get away with testing only one. Now you have to test on at least both Safari & Chrome, and anything that works on both of those is more likely to work on Firefox than something that only works on Chrome.

No one targeting an American market would be crazy enough to ignore Safari because of iOS’s market share.
