It seems Google's policy today is to create new-new-new software that only runs on the newest operating system versions. Phone manufacturers update the operating systems slowly or not at all even if it was technically possible to update the operating system to a newer version. All in all, if you buy a phone today, chances are you'll never be getting the "new fancy software" created later on, unless you buy a newer phone, thus losing a lot of money. Seems like an expensive way to get a new browser to me, as most Androids out there are older versions than ICS. Maybe this will be a reason to celebrate in a few years when most Android phones have that functionality, but then again, it's probably old by then.
Not to mention that, knowing Googles ever growing hunger to track and record every personal piece of data of everyone and then sell it, I consider it a security risk as well. Not in the technical sense, perhaps, but in the social sense.
