I asked this to Matt Zimmerman, he replied to me that I should post this
on this list so that other people know the reason as well.

Part of original e-mail to Matt Zimmerman:

Please read this https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18786 .
Here you closed this feature request with the explanation that it should
be discussed on the ubuntu-devel, and that it has been discussed before.

So I started searching in the archives of ubuntu-devel of the past 6
months. The only post which discussed this issue was this one:
http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2005-September/011292.html . Ironnically however another developer, Jeff Waugh, later replied that it should not be discussed on ubuntu-devel - http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2005-September/011311.html .

But what I still don't know is why the Ubuntu devs don't intend or don't
want to replace Firefox with Epiphany by default. Could you please
explain the reasons to me?

Probably because Firefox is much more accepted into community, has greater support and so on, is probably more stable, and so on?
