While you can’t uninstall Safari, it doesn’t constantly discourage you to use other browsers like Edge does. Nor does Mac OS prevents you from installing competing apps.
The bigger problem is iOS, but the EU already took care of that and we’ll be able to sideload apps on iOS pretty soon.
No, you’re confusing MacOS with iOS. Mac allows whatever you want. Each browser has its own rendering engine. iOS is the one that only allows (for the moment) Webkit. But that’s going to change (at least in Europe). Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_browser_engines#Support
That chess game even predates OS X, it was a tech demo that came with the NextStep OS and has barely changed since the mid nineties. At this point it would be said to see it go.
Shouldn’t the same be applied to MacOS? There are a myriad of stupid apps impossible to uninstall. Maybe even safari

Does Mac prohibit other browser engines like they do on iOS?
Doesn’t do a lot of good, that they let you use other browsers if they are just reskins for Safari.
They do not.
MacOS is actually far more open to low level system UI tweaks and app support than windows.
True, I forgot that part. Thanks! Still, it comes as weird for me to have software (zero tied to OS functions ) I cannot remove
Mac literally doesn’t allow any other browser engine. They only allow webkit.
So your options are:
Safari
Safari with Chrome aesthetics
Safari with Firefox aesthetics
Safari with [insert browser here] aesthetics

The odd thing is that some of them are uninstallable on iOS/iPadOS…
