When it avoids a chrome (and thus google) monopoly: yes. And don’t talk to me about Firefox engine. Its market share is negligible and the whole thing only even still exists because google allows it.
Because so many people use iPhones as their primary devices it's hard for businesses to accept making their websites only support browsers which are built off Chromium. It somewhat limits the power Google has to unilaterally dictate web standards.
Why is that sad?

So WebKit is the walled garden? I thought it was the App Store.

Luckily not for long you mean?
I for one am looking forward to full-on Firefox with extensions etc.
You can already have Firefox extensions on iOS with Orion.
