Because, Apple adds a 25 ms artifical penalty to ipv4 dns resolution.

Umm.. It's 3 year old news that Apple implemented Happy Eyeballs.

And if you read, it continues on saying that both Firefox and Chrome use a 300ms

The solution is, of course, to not build websites that need to hit 20 or 30 IPv4-only
tracking and affiliate and ad sites. :)
