I think this is under-selling the value of something like Safari. I'm on Hacker News, not just a general population rando, and I still care more about usability than most ideological concepts. I don't like Chrome and would stay away from Edge for many reasons if it were even a viable option on MacOS, but I'm still not switching. Since Safari doesn't have "heavy telemetry" or "tracking," I assume the "completely out-of-the-loop user experience" was aimed at it, but I haven't found that to be the case either. If one cares more about OSS than UXP, then by all means, go full-Stallman. I just don't think there are very many people who care that much, which is why Chrome is as popular as it is.
