If this is something that IT admins can opt in to, rather than compulsory, it sounds like a good feature. The article hints that might be the case.
If this happens by default, in a user hostile way, Google could respond by having their installers set the default search engine in Edge to Google.

- tr4cker 7y agoIt seems kind of fair...
- funnybeam 7y agoUnfortunately it’s opt-out rather than opt-in. Pity the poor help desks that missed this announcement and get swamped with tickets next month
- blackearl 7y agoIt's opt-out. Here's the email they sent out to admins recently: You must exclude the extension before you install or update to a version of Office 365 ProPlus that installs the extension for Microsoft Search in Bing. Implementing the exclusion after the extension has been installed will not remove the extension. • For new installations of Office 365 ProPlus, the Office Deployment Tool may be the best method, as outlined in this support document • For existing installations of Office 365 ProPlus, modifying the Group Policy may be best. Enable the policy setting Don't install extension for Microsoft Search in Bing, which makes Bing the default the search engine. • If you use Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (current branch), from the Features section, set Microsoft Search as default to the Off position. • If you use Microsoft Intune to deploy Office 365 ProPlus, clear the check box Microsoft Search as default on the Configure App Suite pane.
