Another case of apple ignoring standards in favor of their own preferences.

It is but I don’t see that as a bad thing on this occasion because diversity in rendering engines, even if some are opinionated, is better than a Blink monoculture (or Trident before it)
I would not mind if it was possible to switch but a lot of people are stuck with safari mobile.
That’s a different issue though. But I agree that’s a problem.
User agents are explicitly allowed to have their own preferences, that's the whole point of having multiple browsers in the first place. If you want every browser to be identical then why even have more than one? Browsers don't even have to have display favicons if they don't want to.

Fixed that for you.
