Apple's default web browser is Safari on iOS and no one ever sued Apple over it.

At some point, you have to just recognize that the world is different today. The general market has accepted walled garden OSes with anti-competitive behavior towards common applications.

Apple doesn't have that kind of market share to warrant it. Tangentially, Apple products are aspirational, so they never won't have it, that would lose the appeal. Microsoft, on the other hand, pushes their products every way imaginable, and many of their users use them because they have to.
