Recently I've heard news that because of a new EU law, Apple will be required to make it possible for the users to install alternative app stores without hacks.
As I know Apple enforces the restriction you have mentioned through their app store, but shipping your browser engine is otherwise probably technically possible.
Yea, the DMA will force both Apple and Android to allow users to uninstall default apps and use third party app stores without disadvantages among other cool things!
