You’re really missing the point, but as a bonus, that’s why the iPhone launched with a dedicated YouTube app; Google didn’t want to give up all that potential revenue.

We know letting a dominant player abuse their position to corner the market has long-term downsides to user choice. Windows, IE, and now Chrome.

The solution to that is to stop the abuse, not remove user choice.

I’m all for breaking Chrome apart from Google’s ads business.

Until regulators stop being asleep at the wheel, “we can’t lock iOS users out of everything” likely keeps Safari alive.
