They didn't have to. The EU regulations have been public for a while now, the only question was how Apple was going to comply.
Regulations are not "maybe"s.
The regulations outright stated that it has to be allowed. So they knew it was going to be allowed on iOS. Like I said, the only question was how: Mozilla didn't know what the mechanisms made by Apple to make this work would look like, but that can be worked out fairly easily later, once they have a working build.
