Does iOS not have like a “default Apps” system?

It does. And Firefox is my default browser app.

So if Firefox is your default, what happens when you tap that “open with default app” button at the bottom?

Predatory design for non techy people. It’s a deliberate decision to put that as the most uninviting option.

Also, it’s turned on the ask me every time option so you’re likely to be asked a few times as you’re likely to just hit the option you want before realising that there’s a way to turn it off.

I don’t know anything about iOS development, but my guess is that since this is a google app they do show the chrome icon regardless if you have chrome installed or not. If you don’t have it, clicking that will take you to the App Store.
They show safari because that comes on an iPhone that that’s the default default browser (i guess that’s the way to say that?)
I don’t think they have a way to scan your phone for what other apps are installed and list the ones it thinks are web browsers here. What I mean is that I don’t think that it’s technically possible of feasible to display a Firefox icon here. How could it know you have that app?

It opens Firefox. They’re complaining about nothing.

It makes the choices look strange though. You see the Google suggestions and the Apple suggestions even though those aren’t the default. This is that walled garden in action on both Apple and Google’s side.
