How many people buy computers without expecting to get on the internet?
But that's the point!
If you allow Microsoft to sell people what they want, it's so bloody unfair to the competition!
On the other hand, if you find a way to claim that they don't "sell people what they want", you get to claim that they're being "so bloody unfair" to the consumer!
It's called "damned if you do, damned if you don't", and it's the way the "mind" of an MS-hater operates.
The goal isn't to exclude a browser, or to include some other feature. The goal is to attack Microsoft on any pretext, and to do so in an unrelenting manner.
To get a "big picture" look at the process, examine marxist theology, or, simply look at standard Soviet "negotiation" and agitprop tactics during the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
