I can help with this if this is unplanned at the moment, I've written this for my Cordova plugin cordova-plugin-tts-advanced (https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-tts-advanced)

Logically I see two options here:

  1. Just use speechSynthesis on iOS
  2. Implement the iOS voices using native APIs.

The current behavior probably makes the least sense of the three - merely using the webview's speechSynthesis on iOS would implement support for voices on iOS and reduce the size of the codebase to maintain.
