So how can one download a competitive browser on one’s new OS installation if there's no browser at all?

FTP or WGET come to mind. Of course you can open up your package manager and pull it from a repository.

Oh please, that's not an option for the masses. I teach basic computing (among other courses) and if people don't even know how to use a mouse correctly you think that they're capable of installing a browser? NOT!!! There are a lot of people who would never be able to access the web if their computers didn't come with a browser. Not everyone is a computer techie.
