On planet earth actually, what planet do you hail from? I don't understand it either: we are a laptop university and we give our students a choice between several models of PC laptops and Mac laptops. Since we've started offering Macs as an option 3 years ago, students have opted for on more and more. This year well over 70% of the incoming class has chosen a Mac, and that's after the extra fee for choosing a more expensive Mac!

Using the built-in certificate store of the OS makes the browser less portable to different operating systems. Also the info. security officer in my also would like to point out that it also makes the browser more vulnerable to security issues that are specific to an operating system. I suppose that's why, from a design standpoint, Mozilla and Opera picked to do it this way. Probably one of the many reasons why you can easily port Firefox to just about any operating system whereas that process is not so easy with Chrome (both being open source). You can even get Firefox for AmigaOS now :-)!
