AFAICT, practically nobody picks WebKit over Blink/Chromium for new projects.

The reasons why Apple still maintains their own browser engine have to do with corporate prestige and expensive insurance policy. They can afford it because Apple is literally the world’s richest corporation.

Nobody else does anymore. Even Microsoft gave up on their own browser engine despite having 97% market share two decades ago. And Mozilla is bankrolled by Google as their own kind of insurance policy.

Safari has 24% of the browser market.

Not on merit but simply by being the only allowed option on iOS. Nobody chooses Safari because it runs WebKit instead of Blink.
