The monkey paw on this is instead of 1 mobile browser (Safari/Webkit) that needs to be targeted on #iOS for web development, something like 8 are needed with 2-3 different JavaScript runtimes.
This actually will push more developers to make apps because the browser is no longer consistent. I remember as a non-decision maker, there was a sizable population of #Apple employees pushing to allow multiple browser engines to ruin the experience of the web in favor of apps in the App Store.
Primary objection of multiple browser engines was security. Apps get abandoned all the time and browsers are already a huge target. Privacy is the other: popular browsers like Chrome are purely built for surveillance of the user.
