Wasn't it Lucius Fox?

A lot of phones from that era (and before) used to use the NetFront browser.

So did other hardware/software vendors, and many of them were a lot smarter than the iPhone.

I wish you were right, but that is not the case, sadly. I could give you several examples but here's one: there was a comment on HN a little while ago [1] about a spammer by the name of whitehallmedia. Every single email they send has an unsubscribe link. Clicking it (I used a test email account.) does not have the effect that one might expect.

Re:CMA launches market investigation into cloud services on Thursday October 05, 2023 @05:49AM (#37776637)
Ofcom has referred the cloud services market to the Competition and Markets Authority.

  The features which Ofcom is most concerned about are:
  -  Egress fees – charges that cloud customers must pay to move their data out of the cloud
  -  Discounts – which may incentivise customers to use only one cloud provider
  -  Technical barriers to switching – which may prevent customers from being able to switch between different clouds or use more than one provider
  Ofcom's report also outlines concerns it has heard about the software licensing practices of some cloud providers, in particular Microsoft.

I hope [1] is an example of that tide turning.

You are not.

It does in India too. With Easter around the corner, I thought of Inri Appam [1][2].
