While the OP&#x27;s tone may have been a bit brash, it is true that this policy smacks of anti-competitive practice. Recall the (often quoted) Ma Bell rhetoric: &quot;You may have any color you like... as long as it&#x27;s black&quot;. The same applies to browsers on iOS: &quot;You may use any browser you want... as long as it&#x27;s WebkitWebView&quot;. When Microsoft did this same exact thing; building IE into the OS, people freaked! And I believe they used the same &quot;It&#x27;s to protect you&quot; line. You may not care, but that doesn&#x27;t mean they couldn&#x27;t have a &quot;run untrusted browser&quot; option.
