Because Apple's walled garden is for your own good, Citizen.

When it avoids a chrome (and thus google) monopoly: yes. And don’t talk to me about Firefox engine. Its market share is negligible and the whole thing only even still exists because google allows it.

I would agree with this except Apple had done a terrible job of keeping up with standards ala IE for the longest time.

So WebKit is the walled garden? I thought it was the App Store.

The App Store is the walled garden that doesn't allow anyone else to ship a browser engine, except in certain markets where they have been forced by law to create a "Web Browser Engine Entitlement" that non-WebKit browsers can use with super special permission from Apple.
