9to5Mac noted (via The Register) that this could be Apple's reaction to Europe’s upcoming Digital Markets Act, which prohibits "gatekeepers" such as Apple to control which features show up and which don't in third party browsers that use Apple's rendering engine.
"...each browser is built on a web browser engine, which is responsible for key browser functionality such as speed, reliability and web compatibility. When gatekeepers operate and impose browser engines, they are in a position to determine the functionality and standards that will apply not only to their own web browsers, but also to competing web browsers and, in turn, to web software applications," the document says.
"Gatekeepers should therefore not use their position as undertakings providing core platform services to require their dependent business users to use any of those services provided by the gatekeeper itself as part of the provision of services or products by these business users."
