They are trying to avoid regulation. That's super dodgy. They are trying to hide something. Since it's related to a browser, data collection must be what they want to regulate, and what Apple is trying to hide....
You’re overthinking it.
Having 25% of the mobile browser market, and being more than half of the US mobile browser market means:
It’s a play for partnership cash and, because Apple has always been a control freak, insurance that experiences on their platforms are right.
Edit: One more massive thing, but I can’t believe I forgot. Apples hold over the browser market means they can strong arm the industry into adopting Web standards that Apple wants.
