(1) chrome has a better security record than Safari so they are not protecting users by disallowing it. in fact they're doing the opposite. Preventing users from using more secure broswers

Arguably they're doing it to prevent any erosion of their native app market. other browsers provide more features like full screen support and PWA support, both of which are ways of providing app experiences that don't go throu apple's cash cow $$$$$ store
