I'm curious as to what good reason there is to have the Android user-agent string contain "Mobile Safari"...

The rest of it looks like fairly standard user-agent string antics.

chrome on android also has Mobile Safari in their UA
Ah, okay, that makes more sense.

I guess maybe it was to enable touch on some websites?

The reasoning is probably pretty similar to why all browsers claim to be "Mozilla".
