I don’t understand what internet users not willing to pay for published content has to do with creating a browser that’s just a browser.

Like Apple, Microsoft and Mozilla did for a long time.

Google subsidized billions per annum to Apple and Mozilla to fund browsers and be the default search engine. So the open web is subsidized by ads. Nobody is willing to fund the alternative.
