The EU forced Apple to allow other rendering engines, but implementing one costs money vs just using WebKit for free, so nobody does it.

There's also the very real possibility that the "law and order" of western democracies will be destroyed by the same technocratic corporate sociopath cancer that has destroyed the USA — under the guise of christian fascism and various culture wars — so why bother investing resources in an anti-monopoly measure that Apple may be able to bribe away in the very near future? There simply isn't a significant profit motive to invest in an alternate mobile browser for iOS at this stage, just like there's barely a profit motive to produce an alternate desktop browser; 90% of which are just chromium reskins not unlike webkit on iOS.
