Implementing touch selection on a widget that is not native is not trivial. In the editor, when you select something, what you see painted is not really the browser (native) selection. It is simply a bunch of divs painted in such a way that they look like a selection. To add touch selection we would pretty much need to implement it from scratch.

If you have the chance and the time, I would very much appreciate a PR to fix some of the input handling quirks you're seeing on iOS. We are not experts in everything, and I have come to appreciate the amazing world of OSS :). e.g. Recently, we've gotten an amazing PR [1] that fixes a lot of the input handling for CJK languages, which I would have had no chance to fix by myself.
