FWIW, I said it and did it.
I didn't like Safari, and I couldn't change the default browser to anything better. Even worse, most 3rd party apps used their own utter-crap in-app browsers instead.
So I switched to Android where I have freedom to set my preferred default browser, and 3rd party apps actually respect that.
I do agree with the rest of your comment — these days you can't have a platform without a great browser.
