Apple needs to allow 3rd party browser engines.

They will in the EU. Hopefully it's easy to game the system and sideload a non-safari browser in the future.

This would still force Mozilla to support two browsers on iOS, one for Europe and another for the rest of the world.

Mozilla has 0 browsers for iOS except a skin over Safari.

So really it would just be a browser for the EU and nothing for everyone else.
