I don't think that you're exaggerating, but writing a browser is also a lot of very hard work. And writing a browser is only writing a single application; implementing a LLVM backend, however, is supporting thousands of potential applications. Wouldn't it make much sense to raise funds towards this goal?
Also, browser is one of the main attack surfaces in modern web, and writing your own browser instead of sticking with a huge project that benifits from researchers all around the globe just doesn't sound right. Especially since OS/2 has a lot of legacy use in corporations that can be targetted for an attack.
