Apple only opposes Google when new browser capabilites like PWAs, Bluetooth API, NFC API,... might be a threat to the Appstore monopoly on iOS.
I think they are very much onboard with this since it you could potentially make live hell for Hackintosh and Jailbreak users.
i wouldn't be so sure about it. apple strongarmed google with jpgxl support and the european union pryed open their eco system, at least for eu citizens. apple currently positioning themselves on the side of privacy advocates would lose this standing (and many customers who switched to iphone because of it). i know, they could sugarcoat this, but i have a little hope left that they will draw a line on at least the most user hostile stuff.
Apple loves control; the only reason I can think of that would make them oppose Google's Web Integrity proposal is that they don't think it goes far enough.
