Given that Microsoft almost killed the entire browser industry just by releasing IE it is quite a success to be around decades later.
> It did well enough until there was real competition
"Real" competition doesn't have to artificially cripple high profile sites to compete. The chrome style of competition gave us ShadowDom v0 on youtube, disappearing features in maps and gmail, empty html elements that only seemed to be there to prevent Edge from accelerating video playback and constant popups reminding users to "upgrade" to Chrome.
