I'm not even sure that is actually true for most people. If you mainly work in the browser, which many do, then you can change the OS under it without impacting the user too much but change the browser and there will need to be much more to adapt/relearn.

Changing the browser is an order of magnitude less friction than changing browsers. The UX in every browser is essentially the same, that's not the case between Windows, Mac, and the various DE's on Linux
