> The argument that Apple’s security model is the only one that can provide security is not sufficient. Those making this argument need to also prove that the browser engine can only be secure when made by Apple.

I don't think they're making the argument that this is the only one that would work, but that's a silly statement to even debate. Just coming up with a hypothetically security model that might work, is a huge difference from forcing a company to implement it. They're arguing against the second one, the idea that they should be forced to do this, by way of stating the current system works. That doesn't require address hypothetical other systems. I also don't think such verification of hypothetical systems is even possible. We have trouble enough understanding the security of existing systems.
