They are not saying it is impossible, only that they have not done it. How long do you think it will take to spin up such a review and certification program? How much will it cost, and how many sales will they lose because of the lack of this feature in the EU?

There will already be a review and certification program for third party browsers that want the required entitlements (https://developer.apple.com/support/alternative-browser-engi...), so why don't you ask Apple?

Because I read their statement, which makes it pretty clear that there are additional security considerations beyond what is needed for a browser application.
