Since when did mobile Safari is 'most largely represented browser'?

Edit: for non believers - Chrome 66%, Safari 24%

^(*Because Apple forces every IOS browser to use their engine, everything is just a reskin of safari)

Market share of iOS is less than half that of Android (27% vs 72%). Same goes for Chrome and Chromium based browsers - so that's where web developers priorities of optimization and debugging are.
