They were not. Apple was selling a browser in a phone which was a new concept for normal customers.
Blackberries were a thing back then and the iPhone killed them because of this.

Mobile Safari was certainly a lot better than browsers on the other phones though. And a lack of carrier garbage and interference on updates was also nice.
