It's not a problem for the end user to be unable to pick which browser they want to use?

Speak for yourself, I would consider being forced into a single browser choice a huge problem, to the point that I will not buy a device that does it.




The fact that alternate browser engines were banned on iOS was indeed a huge problem, but I think the current legislation goes too far. As the GP said, many users won't care. I think trying to force them to care by presenting a randomized list of a dozen different options at setup time is misguided. I don't see the issue with merely having a default so long as there's an easy way to change it and Apple isn't applying any rules or restrictions to competing browsers that they don't apply to their own.
