It's the IE effect in more ways than one. Apple makes money from apps, and by having a monopoly on which app store you can use. Therefore it's in their interest to nerf the browser as much as they can get away with it, and why they force third party browsers to use the Safari rendering engine under the hood.

Not for long, at least in the EU.

This is also why PWAs don't work well on iOS. I think they still don't even support notifications.
