The lock in is what this is. We'll give it to you for free, why use someone elses? The why is that M$ is looking for additional income it can sell as licensed access to browser information for data mining on a yearly basis. Since it is free to use, you and your data are the product being sold.

M$ did not out of the kindness of it's heart, change to make other browsers easier to use in it's OS. At the end of the 90s browser wars, which it won, IE development came to a dead end with no need to improve the browser until the EU started considering that M$ was using it's position as the OS maker to force it's browser on the computing public. When it became evident it was going to lose the case, with tons of money owed Firefox, Opera, and Netscape because of unfair advantage, M$ finally made it easy to get other browsers operational in Windows.

What is going on now, is that M$ sees it is again in the fight of it's life over money. If others get the money it is planning on for the annual licensing to datamining companies, it will have to do something else to keep the money coming in. Chrome has replaced Firefox as the world's most popular browser. It is drawing a huge amount of IE users for it's usage base plus a smaller amount from Firefox. M$ sees a future with little want or desire for IE.
