All of that points are valid questions to be solved for an implementation. I want to add another one: Which part of the users profit from this?
Most users don’t give a fuck which browser they use as long as it’s working. They cannot comprehend most information you described in your questions and want a simple solution. The other part of users usually knows how to install and select a browser of their choice on a PC. After all it’s not that hard with the current OS choices available anyway.

There’s not really much here that isn’t pretty easily solved. Alphabetical order, descriptions yes, written by each vendor. Yes Firefox would be required to be listed since it’s one of the handful not based on chromium. Design literally is just solving these exact kinds of problems and it happens every day, no need to make it a harder problem than it is.

A problem since a lot just choose the first or last.

It is a hard problem, for all the reasons I listed lol. Alphabetical order would be a terrible idea, browsers would be punished because of their name. Randomized order would be better. Obviously Firefox would be there, that doesn’t even need to be stated. This isn’t easily solved, and we do not have browser neutrality or anything close to it in any form or platform.
These are things you need to figure out, there’s no “no need to make it harder problem than it is” when it comes to designing these very important things. That’s just how you have straight up bad design that isn’t thought out.

As someone who struggles with decision paralysis all the time, you obviously get that but much worse.
And yes you are 100% making this harder than it is.
“This is how you get bad design”
Ok and your way is how we get complete inaction
