It's sad to say, but the current restrictions on iOS are likely to be one of the last things holding Chrome/Blink back from total dominance. It's already the default on Android, and it's installed on most computers. So if a real Chrome ever shows up for iOS, web devs won't have any reason to test on Safari anymore. They'll tell their visitors to just download Chrome if it doesn't work on their iPhone or iPad.
