Because otherwise you'd be supporting the Chromium monopoly, and that's the biggest sin imaginable in the Fediverse.
Sin? I just want there to be competitors.
Firefox is the competition.. To market dominated Chromium.
...yes?
Can I interest you in links?
Or how about lynx?
I'm not in favor of talking about the Fediverse like it is a data monopoly like META or reddit. Lots of people make this place work in operations and content. Seems not that cool to slam them.

Here's the best part to that. Safari's back end is called WebKit. At one point in time it was considered best in class. It was also the backend for Chrome as well for awhile.
Chrome still uses WebKit.
They forked it into Blink a long time ago now. They've diverged significantly since then.
