Google don't want to be in the phone market - they want to be in the selling ads on search market.

Their worry was a closed iPhone with an Apple only browser might go to an Apple/ATT only search page with Apple/ATT ads - or they might simply replace all the Google ads with their own before sending pages to the phone

And once people accepted this on iPhone they might also accept it on all the other phones then on all the home cable connections - like BT/Phorn.
