2. Smartphones were not invented after Google created a Webkit fork. In 2013 alone, 750 million units of Android smartphones were sold. Most still with the original Webkit as a Blink-enabled WebView was only introduced in September of that year.
Having said that, the fact that Blink still uses the "-webkit-" vendor prefix in 2018 should tell you something about how closely related Webkit and Blink continue to be.
