Please no. Safari is the browser that gives our company the most pain by far in terms of development and user experience.

And when I’ve personally tried using it on my various Macs over the years, I’ve always encountered bugs and glitches on websites that are seemingly not there with other browsers.

To be honest I’m pretty unhappy with a few of Apple’s “core” apps. Music is another dumpster fire...

I think this is an argument for why Windows should get it. There's clearly a lack of Webkit compatibility attention here? Isn't this the whole problem with Chromium domination? Websites become designed for Chromium rather than the web. Of course, HTML5 and WHATWG helped a whole lot but there are still browser idiosyncrasies as usual.
What are web developers that don't have any Apple devices supposed to do?

Does the most profitable company in the world really need to gate-keep its browser like it does for developing on its phones?
