If I was Microsoft, I'd wanna know too. After all, it's a race for every single one of our data points, and then some.
Either way, you gotta admit it's ironically funny that Microsoft wants to keep/poach Chrome users into their own... wait for it... Chromium-based browser.

I think one huge issue is that edge is fine, it is a browser that works. There is nothing competitively interesting about it to make people consider switching, plus there is the infamy of IE and Micro$oft's reputation to contend with.
They should just develop a lightweight browser installer and bow out of the browser wars.
