To Apple's credit, they do talk about Webkit being the only engine a few questions later.

Only when forced in response to some very pointed questions. That doesn't make the first answer true if you understand that the engine is a vital part of a web browser and a source of competitive advantage.

When it comes to uninstalling, they're talking about the engine, calling it a "core part of iOS".

When it comes to browsers, then yeah, the shell around the engine IS the browser.

I had the same reaction! And the ones asking the question, seems to already have known the answer, because there is a more fleshed out question and answer later in the document (question 4).
