No chance of Apple implementing this outside of the EU if they are not forced to.

They are getting billions from Google every year because Safari is the most used browser on iOS, and they will do what is necessary to make this last for as long as possible.

Chrome for iOS switching to Blink from WebKit will have next to zero effect on Safari’s share of iOS browsing.
Only if you assume that the change will not cause people to switch from Safari to alternative browsers, eg Chrome.
Over time it will, but not at the speed we saw Chrome take over on desktop back in the days.
