It is bullshit. There is nothing wrong, at all, with it being empty. It's a burden on those of independent mind to have to delete extraneous crap.
You might as well be Microsoft saying it's fine that IE is default and bundled with Windows, thus effectively pushing Netscape out of the market.
This is also the exact mentality that leads to bloatware on PCs and phones. The person that put it there thinks it's helpful, even if it took a bit of financial persuasion.
- DanBC 12y agoMicrosoft baked IE into the OS, making it hard to temove IE and making it hard to install anything else. It wasn't just that IE was the default browser that caused MS problems in Europe courts.

The fact it was low level welded into the OS merely made it possible for MS to argue it was necessary to be in by default for technical reasons as opposed to being a business decision.
