That doesn't seem sufficient to cause wallet software to come in to
existence, especially if most (but not all) of the browsers ship
with built-in wallets tied to their own payment services. If such a
situation with no freestanding wallet products were to happen, what
allows browser makers who don't have payment services to remain
competitive in the browser market?
