It's not bundling because a web browser is a part of a operating system. For the same reason it's not bundling if their operating system contains a scheduler or network drivers

This was not at all the case in the 90s during the period of MS antitrust action.

There is a robust market (even today) for web browsers, and the makers of browsers make millions of dollars in revenue from their products. Therefore, I disagree, and I believe the bundling concept could still apply today to browsers. Network drivers and schedulers are not at all the same, because there isn't much of an independent market for them.
