Apple TV Should Include a Web Browser

What good is using Siri on an Apple TV if you can't ask it questions about anything but movies and TV shows?
When I first heard that the all new Apple TV had Siri voice control, the first thing I assumed was that it would include a web browser. After all, if you ask Siri for something on your mobile device, most of the time the result is a web page. So wouldn't it make sense for Siri to return web pages on the TV? What's so complicated about that?
Apple TV is fundamentally an iOS device without a screen, so in theory it would be easy to port just about any iOS App, such as the Safari Web Browser to Apple TV, asa long as you work out a decent user interface. While I admit it may be a bit awkward without a touch screen, keyboard or mouse, it's far from impossible. The touch pad on top of the remote makes navigation nearly as easy as a mouse, and you don't really need to type too often, so the lack of a keyboard isn't a big problem, especially since you can use Siri.
