You are doomed to be told that this problem is felt by a "vocal
minority" of users. This is even going to be true as most users do not
care at all about privacy issues or who they send their data to. It is
the purpose of a software distribution to take these decisions for the
users. Microsoft for example typically uses the default browser page to
publicise their services (I recall this from my short working experience
in windows xp, I may be even wrong). The majority of users will consider
a stupid issue to care about that.
