I can't help but think you guys are missing the forest for the trees. Desktop browser isn't the important piece of it. Android (71% of all mobile) comes with Chrome, which funnels people into Google search, which funnels them into AdWords. This kind of anti-trust decision is congruent with the Microsoft/Internet Explorer anti-trust case from back in the day.
I agree that YouTube would be a more substantive split, but there is certainly some logic to picking Chrome.
