They totally do though. You can ONLY use webkit on any iOS device. Chrome, Firefox, etc. they all are forced to use webkit on iOS. Neither Google or Apple are treating the web nicely, but at least you have a choice to use a different browser. Apple makes that effectively impossible.
Also you can't really use Apple TV properly without an Apple device. Same with iCloud. Actually really any service they make only works properly with their full stack.
I want Firefox (with its engine, not webkit) on my phone. With Apple that's not possible
It's easy to not have Firefox on your device, just don't install it. Why should apple prevent you from being able to do that?
