I feel 2 ways about this. If Apple is forced to open up, Chrome will take everything. If Apple can keep Safari in place, there are at least 2 browsers. OTOH, it’s a crap thing to do to your customers, forcing a browser on them.

Apple should be forced to show users a screen where they select the browser they want to install when purchasing or upgrading iOS. There are more browsers than Safari and Chrome.

For god's sake NO, that would be the final nail in the coffin of Google owning web standards. 99% of users would choose Chrome because it's what they recognize most, and I assume in this scenario you're imagining this is actually different browsers using their own rendering engines.

I don't understand why in this world of Google's near monopoly on the web, people are more focused on government intervention to prevent Apple's pithy 9% marketshare for holding back poor Google.

Not necessarily. If Brave can somehow present that it blocks ads and trackers many users will choose it over Chrome.
