Because Android will make you pick a default browser, you switched to iOS where you weren't even allowed to change the default browser (depending on when it was you switched), and even now every browser is actually Safari so users think there is diversity but there isn't really.

Ok.

I mean, I acknowledge that sort of thinking is common, but it's makes no sense to me.

you can pick a alternate browser on IOS and as I said - it was multiple instances

Go in your google/android settings and make sure location tracking is off - come back and tell me with a straight face that the UX of the feature is not a dark pattern.

It depends on your definition of browser, they are all frontends for Apple WebKit.
You can't have an alternate browser engine on iOS, just a shell around Safari's webview.
An alternate where all alternatives are safari.
