As soon as this happens, Google Chrome will be the winner with the other Chromium-derived browsers on phones for iOS. This has also already happened on Android when the user has the choice.
This will just cement the Chromium dominance and the EU has made that worse.
Firefox is no where near competitive enough to unseat Chrome or Safari.

Not necessarily.
Just look at how well Safari has started doing all of a sudden in the Interop 2022 report: https://wpt.fyi/interop-2022
Safari went from worst to best in cross-browser issues.
The fact of the matter is, the year that Apple realised that they weren't going to be able to escape or hold up the EU's coming regulations to open iOS to other browsers, Safari suddenly became important again.
Why would they do this if they were just going to concede the web to Google?
