They lost _on paper_ but by that point they long since accomplished what they set out to do, and are _still_ reaping the benefits. The fines they faced were a pittance, and the "default browser ballot" BS was per formative nonsense, because by that point IE was intimately tied into the entire MS business software ecosystem and _completely_ owned the corporate desktop + backend.

(What eventually broke that wasn't the browser ballot, but the rise of the modern smartphone)

> They had to unbundle IE too and give other browser equal opportunity to be the default browser.

Um, IE _never_ ceased to be bundled with MS Windows. It is a core component of Windows. [1] At best, the only thing "removed" was the icon that launched the "browser wrapper" around that built-in component. (Sure, it's now called "Edge" and is built on the Chrome engine instead of Triton, but it's still just as proprietary and intrinsicly bundled as ever!)

[1] An embedded browser engine is a core component of every OS, commercial or otherwise. released since Windows 98, and it's _not_ replacable.
