Wrong. If they disallow direct web access, they are forcing anyone and 
everyone. Also, they who control the data that is being transfered on 
the web control the competition. Do you think the developers of Brave or 
  Firefox or even Edge wouldn't prefer to use a fork of the same webkit 
for their browsers?

Not on iOS it isn't.

Apple’s closed ecosystem requires that all browsers, including Chrome,

It is very good and the main reason Google fork'd it for their use. 
Mainly so they could move Blink in a more competitive way to meet their 
needs.

Of course, they could do that since, well, they also created their own 
smartphone by reverse-engineering Apple's Java modules but keeping 
compatibility the modules argument lists.

The simple fact is that Apple AND Alphabet have an iron-fist hold on the 
competition with their stores, guaranteeing that they'll always get 30% 
of every sale. This is obviously detrimental to consumers since the 
competitors will simply pass most of that 30% tax onto the hapless 
consumers.

Yes, there is. Microsoft failed for a number of reasons, not the least 
being their fumbling attempts at Win8 and Windows Phone which almost 
completely eroded their trustworthiness to consumers but, more 
importantly, to their enterprise accounts.

They won't enter those waters again anytime soon. However, they are 
wealthy enough that they can plan another line of attack at some point.

Most others aren't ... maybe Amazon, maybe Facebook???

No one without an established platform would even bother. There will 
need to be a technology paradigm change. One that separates the service 
from the devices.
