See also Windows and the (almost) built-in Twitter app, which steals twitter link opening even if I'm not signed in to it. And it kept getting reinstalled.

I had that.. till I changed all the permissions on the windows apps folder and removed all but myself from installing them. Broke all the MS apps, but weirdly I don't use any of them, esp the fscking twitter one...

In terms of iOS, I don't know if you could equate SFSafariViewController and someone embedding their own WKWebView instance... the former has more restrictions around what you can get away with. For the record, I don't mind the former, and I hate the latter.

I think some of the reason is also (but not entirely) that on low end devices spinning up an embedded browser is slightly more performant.
