Lack of a web browser is a feature if you are a parent. The easier it is to control access to content, the better.

That's what parental controls should be there for, an actual feature.
Nothing would have stopped Nintendo from just adding a "disable web browser" to the parental control feature the Switch already possess.
As such the lack of a web browser is not a "feature", it's merely omitting functionality.

True, that is what parental controls are for. Still, kids are clever, and I'm lazy. That makes it a feature in my book.
