On the contrary Apple and Microsoft made it quite clear that it was mainly out of fear of submarine patents. Sure quality was a factor, but it's not the reason that Safari and IE don't support it. (See paragraph 4.) In addition, if I'm not mistaken, Theora's quality is somewhere between h263 and h264. h263 was, at one point, good enough for Youtube.
