Badly written article, Chrome certainly might have fewer security issues than Safari but unless Apple would exclusively use Chrome's engine instead of their own (which is highly unlikely), by fully allowing Chrome (or any other browsers) in addition to their own, they would automatically increase the surface of attack, irrespective of the quality of third parties browsers/engines.

Nevertheless fundamental critics of Webkit stand imo, I'm usually not for rewriting components from scratch but given the ressources of Apple and the importance of web engines in 2019, it would be a good investment to pull off something akin of what Mozilla is doing with Servo, or even better, teaming with Mozilla - dreaming -, this is the future.
