Where did it came from? The OS has no clue about that, and it will result for the intrusion of the unwanted programs in the system which can damage file on the computer, it can be a reason why OS don't have applications already installed to the system up until now. It's up to the user whether he will install Web Browsers and mailprograms in the system manually without the OS commanding on it.

The operating system acts as an interface between an application and the hardware. The user interacts with the hardware from "the other side". The operating system is a set of services which simplifies development of applications. Executing a program involves the creation of a process by the operating system. The kernel creates a process by assigning memory and other resources, establishing a priority for the process (in multi-tasking systems), loading program code into memory, and executing the program. The program then interacts with the user and/or other devices performing its intended function.
