The issue is not whether the monopoly is good or bad, but rather that its existence creates what is essentially a monoculture. I'd rank that as more of a concern, especially when we're talking about consumer devices.

A monoculture where developers aren't hindered by supporting a mediocre browser with a breadth of missing features? Count me in.

You do realize that everyone said this in support of IE6 taking over the market, right? Don't repeat the mistakes of the past.

IE6 is single vendor, single platform, it is closed source, so it does not at all compare to webkit which is cross platform, open source and on top of that multi vendor.
