When I used to work in mobile advertising, advertisers and tech vendors were always so desperate for this, because it would let them track users across apps and not just websites, so I’m not super sold on enabling it by default.

Click the safari button. It opens it in your normal browser. Better behaved apps (shout out to Apollo) will let you set a config that sends off links to safari directly.
The only apps I know of that don’t have this button are Facebook messenger and TikTok, to nobodies surprise, 2 reasonably badly behaved apps. I think Instagram still does as well, but that’s not a surprise.
You can still escape the app context via the sharing menu though, although that is somewhat more involved.

This is a solution to a different problem. The problem is the website can't prevent itself from being loaded in these frames like it can for <iframe>.
I think there's a good chance Google will actually end up implementing this because they've already had a push to not allow Google login screen in webviews.
