It’s an interesting take and one I hadn’t considered yet - Apple makes Safari the only game in town on iOS to prevent Google from releasing a better browser and ensuring that Google has to pay them $26bn a year.
You can use the Google and Chrome apps if you want. I use it for image searching.
Except Google has had a browser on iOS for a long, long time.
Google can and does have a browser that defaults to a Google search on iOS. They don’t need a separate browser engine for that.
You can download other browsers on iOS.
Because “platform monopoly” is a made-up term with no legal import.
Shh, don't say that part out loud... Apple can do no evil! /s
