Yes. But nowadays iOS lets you install multiple browsers and select default one different from safari.

Aren't those other browsers still required to use the safari rendering engine?

I might be years out of the loop if I missed that changing lol

Apple has been required by the DMA to accept non-webkit browsers in the EU for 2 years now. But in practice no one has built one. There are some claims about malicious compliance on Apple's part (what else is new), but it seems equally likely to me that no one wants to maintain 2 rendering engines for the same app (1 for EU and 1 for the rest of the world).
But so does Windows…
