Amen!

I have always considered default applications bundled in the OS a proof of concept and a free bonus (or burden, depending on whether they can be easily removed - and that includes them staying removed after an OS update, nudge nudge wink wink).

The OS developer's effort is best placed in developing the OS. It is the application developers whose job it is to make bigger, better, faster, more featured applications, including browers.

Of course, the OS needs to attract those application developers first. Therein lies the biggest challenge
