Yea, we actually don't use safari at all in our app. So this might not have an effect but it's pretty vague.

If you don't use Safari you can patch webkit to change the policy, right? Change 7 to 10000000

Apple only allows apps to use their webkit implementation.

Even for other browsers. Chrome, Edge, Opera etc. on iOS all use webkit under the hood.

You could...but it's a change that the Webkit project would never accept and you would be forever diddling this value every time an update came along.
