The thing is they can't control the stability of alternative methods on Safari. It's up to Apple.
But it is simple of Firefox on iOS, so if that's all you need there are existing browser alternatives
It's actually another hoop for users:
- Safari + Kagi: you just need a default browser and a non-default search
- Orion + Kagi: you just need a non-default browser and a default search
- Firefox + Kagi: you need a non-default browser and a non-default search
It might not look that much difference but in terms of thousands users, any reduction for users' steps to do, it is better.
