They did last year. I can understand why you're confused, since it came in the form of the radically-improved `TextEditor`. https://wwdcnotes.com/documentation/wwdcnotes/wwdc25-280-cod...

I don't know where's the improvements, give it has all the limitations, now scaled to rich text. That's not the direction that this component should get. It need radical new API that is not much compatible with SwiftUI API
You must know far more about this than me, but as of iOS 26, `TextEditor` evolved into a true rich text editor (`AttributedString` binding, `AttributedTextSelection` rich text selection, custom/app-specific text attributes, etc). https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/280/ Do you really think people should use web views instead of, say, STTextView?
I think people should use anything but SwiftUI.TextEditor is my current stance
