I think that would’ve good. But…

1. The US isn’t doing this. They have a case but aren’t calling for breakup

2. We all know howling anti-trust and appeals take

If Google gets handed the web (let’s say) this year by Apple being forced to allow them, it could be a decade+ before the Google side gets tackled.

And I’m afraid of how much damage they can do in that timeframe.

I think fixing Google’s ownership over Chrome before forcing other browsers on iOS would be less harmless than forcing iOS to allow other browsers than doing Google.

I’m totally good with doing both. I worried about the effects of the order they’re done in.

And I am only saying this about browser engines. This should not be taken to say Apple should be able to do some of the other nonsense they’ve been doing for 10+ years abusing their position.
