Another "good thing", the same as IE was, Safari works only on 1 platform, which is expensive and many developers don't have access to it.

It works on Windows too. On linux there arr other webkit based browsers, even if they’re not the same as Safari

Safari for Windows was discontinued 5 years ago (version 5.1). I really hope nobody still test with it, thinking it renders the page as the real thing (version 11).

Safari is only supported on Apple platforms, and is not about webkit, you have to test your web apps in the actual browser, because a lot of things can happen beside 2px CSS layout break.
