On iOS it is not simple to switch to other search engines on Safari that's not in their list: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38937619

The thing is they can't control the stability of alternative methods on Safari. It's up to Apple.

But it is simple of Firefox on iOS, so if that's all you need there are existing browser alternatives

It's actually another hoop for users:

- Safari + Kagi: you just need a default browser and a non-default search

- Orion + Kagi: you just need a non-default browser and a default search

- Firefox + Kagi: you need a non-default browser and a non-default search

It might not look that much difference but in terms of thousands users, any reduction for users' steps to do, it is better.
