That would just require browser devs to maintain a whole new OS. Native API are much more complicated than what is available on browsers

Fun fact: they already do. (Or at least Mozilla did, but given their massive engineering power it would be surprising if Google wasn't doing it as well). From what I heard at a Mozilla meetup a few years ago, the only thing that prevented Mozilla to ship the actual Firefox to iOS back then was Apple ToS banning apps with their own JIT compiler built-in.
