Should operating systems include applications such as Web browsers?

A consumer operating system would probably be quite useless in this day and age without a web browser. A web browser, or at least some method of installing one, should be made readily available to all users. The main complaints about Microsoft doing so were mostly because they made it impossible to uninstall the web browser, and made it too integrated into the rest of the system, increasing security vulnerabilities.
