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.

That will never happen, a browser is probably the best telemetry source you can possibly have. Microsoft wouldn't dream to give that up.

They run the operating system, they collect all that data without the browser
