It’s still something of an exaggeration. If you take a look at the source for iOS browsers, the amount of unique code is non-trivial.
At minimum, it’s a sliding scale rather than binary and iOS browsers are less Safari reskins than Chromium-based browsers (most of which share a much higher percentage of code) are Chrome reskins. There’s exceptions like Arc which uses a bespoke AppKit/SwiftUI/WinUI UI instead of the standard Chromium stuff but that’s pretty rare.

This doesn't matter as long as essential features of Firefox aren't allowed by Apple.
