Their first responsibility is the schools, who have purchased most devices. They probably want only access to Wikipedia, and some other informative sites, while restricting the use for facebook, or other game/social content oriented sites.
I'm sure it's fairly easy to bypass, but nevertheless, they probably will create a good FW for the schools, requiring regular end users to make a final update to unlock the device's full potential, while the schools will probably be asked NOT to update theirs.
I don't really dislike it, because I bought the device originally for reading books, not being online. I'm sure this extra function is a nice feat to have (an online browser), but will be quite uncomfortable to use. I prefer a keyboard/mouse equipped device like a laptop or desktop to do this job.
So even if they fully enable the browser, I doubt I'd use it often.
