Luckily this will change next year with the new EU rules, as they explicitly call out allowing alternative browser engines.

Keep in mind that switching out the engine under your app is probably no easy task, nor is making it well on a new platform in the first place.

True. Luckily it seems Mozilla has been preparing for this in advance: https://www.macrumors.com/2023/02/07/mozilla-developing-non-webkit-version-of-firefox/

Yes, but “exploratory work” is far from a finished, proper product. Which is to say, expecting it to be available next year would be optimistic, especially since the new rules haven’t even been set in stone yet, and that enforcement typically takes time :)
