And all of the mobile browsers with their different operating systems. And what purpose would testing an app on different carriers have? The carriers have no impact on how well an app runs, whatsoever.

Not true. Each carrier has their own build of the OS, and they have different sets of bugs. For example, on one of the Samsung phones (I don't remember which one) on one carrier there's a loopback interface, and on another carrier there is none.
