> I don't think Apple is terribly interested in market share for Safari

Google pays Apple $20B a year because of the market share Safari has on iOS.

I'd call that "interest"

That's 10% of their turnover (and likely mostly pure profit, as they seem to spend a fraction of that on Safari)

Try again. Anyone can write a browser that uses the existing web engine and connect it to any search engine they want. Make it popular enough, and they can made a deal with Google.

Having Safari is a default browser is another (valid) issue, but that is a separate concern from the web engine.
