Edge and Chrome are both closed source and owned by companies, so your comparison is just not valid. Using AOSP is certainly not supporting Google's monopoly: AOSP is totally open source, was bought by Google a long time ago and they don't own it due to its license (aside from the name maybe). Meaning you can still flash Android on a system without paying or using Google's services or products.

It's like saying you contribute to Google's monopoly because you use Linux and Google (also) used it in its Chromebooks.
