MODERATORS
What is this even supposed to mean? All other browsers are pre-installed alongside safari? It's hard for users to choose a browser because they're able to use others as well?
Corpo doublespeak on overdrive. My guess is that they mean that the rules say they have to give a list of alternatives without running the user through a 20 click session on why their option is the only sensible one. "Understand the options" usually means a lot of screens telling the user the "right choice". "Being confronted with a list before understanding" means you need to think for yourself on your decision, rather than Apple making it for you.
On Windows, the EU Browser Selection system basically meant, during setup, you would be asked which browser you wanted. Internet Explorer would be hidden, and whatever you selected would be installed and set to default. I guess for non-techy users, they might not know what the difference between Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and whatever else was in the list. But its not like they couldn't go to the store and grab another one if they weren't happy.
