Apple is doing similar stuff by refusing to implement the payment request API and instead implementing their proprietary Apple Pay API. So you can use one API to target Chrome and Firefox and another for Safari. This is starting to sound a bit like IE. They were invited to join the working group for Payment Request and decided not to take part.

The Payment Request API is supported in the Safari Technical Preview and enabled by default since Release 44.

You can argue that they're not implementing $thing-you-like but lets be real; you can't compare IE to anything if you don't include the market share.

IE was harmful because it had such incredible market share and could do what it wanted with that.

And Apple has a major mobile market share, that HAS to use safari. If I could get away with not supporting safari, I definitely would.

Then you are not a proponent of an Open web, you are a lazy developer.

Apple hasn’t had an monopoly antitrust suit against them for it. Different story, different times.
