Apple is terrible with built-in software, why not buy themselves out of a problem?

If they allow another browser to be set as a default, how would that really create a nightmare? Perhaps phone and messages and maybe email apps might be a bit harder to do that with due to integration with contacts and maybe calendar or something like that (although even that should be doable).

Yes, they probably could allow a third party browser to be the default without creating too many problems.

While maybe not "easy", setting any app even messaging, phone and email as defaults isn't a nightmare. Slight learning curve for the people that want to be bothered by changing the default app is all.

I know people and have seen people on this form that didn't know there was or how to use the screen orientation lock. Doesn't mean we should get rid of it. No piece of technology is too simple, just too simple for those proficient at it.
