It's kind of sad that more people use Internet Explorer 11 than Edge…

  9 IE users for every 1 Edge user in our stats. Compared with 9 Win7 users for every 7 Win10 users. We serve small to medium sized businesses for our customer base in NZ. Although I am not surprised: the Edge UI is buggy and the browser engine has its problems with sites too. And we have put a lot of work into ensuring Edge works properly for our clients.

I wish it wasn't, but IE11 is still a major browser, at least too big to just dump completely in my experience. The UK is worse than most countries in that regard though with higher than average IE11 usage.

  Indeed, but this is not a problem for this enhancement specifically. IE11 asks for gzipped files, and the server can still send them when the client doesn't support Brotli, based on the Accept-Encoding header.
