Just because something is part of Internet does not mean they need to participate in World Wide Web and if they are not participating does not mean they hate Internet.

Imagine that every internet connected device needs to have webpage. Ridiculous.

I agree that it's a clunky simplification, but the point is clear.

Just read "non-vendor supplied client" for every spot "browser" appears.

If it doesn't support custom clients-- as real, first-class citizens, rather than a Twitter-style "we'll hobble the API access of any successful client" mentality, you're not going to get external search, interoperability, or much user control.
