The main reason I believe they would insist on the web engine being used would be for iOS optimisation (windows had the same thing going last time I was using winphones as a daily driver)...
No doubt they are using hardware efficiently, the gain being battery life...
Given Apple seems to target battery runtimes of ten hours on their tablets, anything that might compromise that or make their platform vulnerable is probably not something they would be willing to give up,... to what? Sway an android user to jump ship?
Glad Mozilla were willing to put the time in.
As mongomery burns might say.... "Excellent"

iOS users only need 2 browsers on their devices. Safari for speed and convenience and Opera Mini for data savings.

Google spy through android/google, and aPple spy through Ios, et cetera.... And I have no idea if one is worse than the other, I assume they all are trespassing on our privacy to sell our information for spamming Yes yes, I know they got nicer wording for it....

No surprise aPple want all browsing to be by their own kit - this makes it a lot easier for aPple to spy on the user no matter what browser they try to use....

A Firefrox web browser that isn't powered by the Gecko engine isn't a Firefox browser.
