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.
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.
