"AppleWebKit" is found in the user agent of web browsers on macOS
and iOS, including Google Chrome.

https://developers.whatismybrowser.com/useragents/explore/layout_engine_name/webkit/

Since anyone can set any user agent, however, malicious bots often
pick the user agent of a regular web browser. So while you may see
bots using a user agent setting that contains that string, blocking
clients with that string in their user agent is not typically
helpful.

Cheers,
Andy
