This is a lesson in capitalism. It’s so much more profitable to ignore small users bases when you can just tell them to “try switching to Chrome”.

I think you’re wrong about Safari itself being the reason chrome isn’t a 90%+ market owner; rather, it’s apple’s requirement that no other browser engine can exist on iOS.

It is exactly the same by another words

The moment Chrome gets free reign on iOS variants, it is about time to polish those CVs as ChromeOS Application Developer instead of Web Developer.

Other browser engines can exist. JIT has to be the system’s. Others can use Apple’s JavascriptCore to gain access to it and do whatever they want on top.

    JIT only has to belong to the system because of capitalism. If users could install whatever software they want, Apple couldn't exist.

It sounds like capitalism has so far saved us from a Chrome monopoly, then.

    Capitalism doesn't exist. The fact that trademark, copyright, and patents exist nullify capitalism.

    There can be no free market if your government intervenes in every transaction.

      True capitalism can never exist due to lack of transparency, urgency, monopolies, etc. The best we can have is government controlled capitalism.

        Yup. It's quite obvious that such unfettered, true capitalism quickly decays to the good ol' rule of warlords.

        There should be a name for this kind of fallacy, where you look at a snapshot of a dynamic system (or worse, at initial conditions), and reason from them as if they were fixed - where even mentally simulating that system a few time steps into the future makes immediately apparent that the conditions mutate and results are vastly different than expected.
