I don't think he means locked into a single browser, I think he miiiight mean "generally locked into using a computer at the level of a browser vs. at the level of the OS." As in, "your mom and uncle will buy a web-browser, they won't buy a computer."

Correct me if I'm wrong :)

I don't think so. This is the sentence he replied to:

"The only plus I see in all this is that in the end we are now free of the API lock-in that OS vendors traditionally required"

The discussion here is about APIs that are specific to Apple, Microsoft, Google etc.
