They only have to be tested on Safari specifically, because it's doing some things differently from Mozilla and Chrome. I guess Apple will finally have to use their money to actually fix those issues with their own engine, so people will prefer using it. Oh no, all of that hard-earned cash! /s
(As a web developer, I despise Safari, sometimes with passion. At least we finally got rid of IE and that non-Chrome Edge shitshow by now.)
Not only is Safari miserable to test on without a Mac, whenever I see an exception to something in caniuse, it's almost always Safari.
Yep, apart from the bugs that really annoys me, too. To effectively debug an issue on iOS, you need an iPhone and connect it to a Mac (or iPad) to use the debug tools.
Every other browser can be run on a typical PC. You can even emulate Android, run Firefox and Chrome and just get cracking. I'm not getting paid to buy an expensive device to do my work, lol.
