Two things: Firstly that 98% number seems so absurdly high that I think it just doesn't look credible. Secondly, doesn't this same logic apply to a search engine choice screen, and given that firefox can implement that today with no dependence on anyone else surely they should get on and do it?

I am sure that over 50% of users doesn't even know what a browser is. Even with tech people I would expect few % to not care about such screen at all.

Nowadays with all the browsers being nearly the same (tabbed, extensions, etc) and nearly all of them being chrome-based, browser choice really doesn't matter that much. It's really more about personal preference more than quality.

What people do in a controlled environment is usually not what they actually do "in the field".
If you ask "do you want 5 flavors of coke or 3?" people will say of course 5 is better. It's not necessary true in real world.
