Why Browsers Are Essential to the Internet and How OS Are Holding Them Back
One benefit that immediately comes to mind is the ability to protect yourself against a major security flaw in Safari:
https://safarileaks.com/
Apple did issue a fix after a few weeks but with no alternative browser engines the only alternative was “don’t use the web on your iPhone”, which is absurd.
Other user benefits might include better performance, more capabilities (it took Apple years to implement WebRTC, for example) and in general more competition that might spur Safari into becoming a better browser.

Google says Chrome 99 is the fastest web browser available on Mac
Assuming it's not straight up broken once again, like when localStorage was bugged and browser data would get lost last year or when indexedDb was broken und would leak data.

Update for Security?
I researched the Safari vulnerability, and yes, this appears to only affect iOS 15 devices. The message on https://safarileaks.com/ states "Your browser is not affected. Please open this demo in..... any any browser on iOS and iPadOS 15." Good to know!

Is Apple still supporting Safari? Serious question
Are you talking about this? Apple fixed it about a week ago with the release of macOS 12.2.

Can’t Edit Shared Numbers Document
In the past, there were a few (though rare) cases where Apple has even patched unsupported versions. It probably depends on how easy it is for them. But for the most recent problems, like this and that, there are no fixes beyond Catalina.

JavaScript is not single-threaded
You forgot to mention (Web)Workers. This is explicit creation, management, and communication with additional threads within JavaScript. What's more, they've been around in JavaScript longer than the V8 engine has even existed!

Speedometer 3.0: A Shared Browser Benchmark for Web Application Responsiveness
> Is it though?
In my experience it's the buggiest browser out of the big three, and is often missing basic features like e.g.:
https://caniuse.com/?search=opus
Supported in Firefox for *12 years* now, in Chrome for 10, still no support in Safari.
They only "support" Opus audio in their special snowflake '.caf' container, which is super buggy and the last time I checked no open source program could even generate Opus '.caf' files that could be played by Safari on all Apple platforms. I ended up writing a custom converter which takes a standard '.opus' file and remuxes it on-the-fly (I only store '.opus' files on my server) into Safari-compatible '.caf' files, taking special care to massage it so that it avoids all of their demuxer/decoder bugs. You shouldn't have to do this to have cross-browser high quality audio!

IPissed: Apple is after web capabilities to protect close to 100B App Store Tax
https://caniuse.com/?search=web%20bluetooth
which might be great because you have the choice...
and you can use open source chromium or brave (like the jvm to run cross platform java) to run web apps seemlessly that need web bluetooth or such but use safari or firefox for personal use if you find them more secure
I mean using chromium engine as the running environment where chromium only ever runs special trusted web domains and never goes to other "malicious" web domains that may fuck up iOS as Apple claims would be still a secure choice
like you will not download spyware from Apple Store because you are an adult not because Apple can protect you there
