Firefox has over a 100 million downloads according to the Play Store, so that argument at least doesn't work for bundling Chrome.

But that is 100 million out of over 6 billion Android phones shipped [1] which means around 2% of users install Firefox.

Play store shows Chrome installed 1b+ times, with 9M ratings, Firefox has 3M ratings and 100m+ installs. So it can easily mean 950 million installs for Firefox.
