Semantics. I agree with you in principle, but the matter of fact is that we ended up with effectively zero choice over the browser engine.
Yes, the matter of fact is that the reason why that choice was taken away is because everyone except MS was forbidden from "having" that engine. It might have still been alive today in some form had it not been an exclusive MS-owned thing.
