The question is why would people download/install chrome? Edge is built in, it can't be removed, it's updated automatically and is integrated. It has all the functionality of chrome, so why would I download/install another chrome browser when it's already built in? Downloading and installing chrome at this point provides 0 benefits compared with edgeium which is why I think Microsoft's move was pretty smart. It turned Google's main advantages with chrome and throws it straight back at them. It also has specific pen/touch/battery optimizations that aren't present on chrome. That and I would rather more market share goes to Microsoft on the web over Google. Google has more to gain from turning the web into a closed monopoly, and Microsoft is the only realistic competitor (other than really Amazon) who has the resources and investment to maintain a hostile fork that can compete with Google. If Google decides to implement something nefarious like blocking adblockers, Microsoft has the resources to maintain a fork of chromium that is feasible and usable. Firefox the only benefits it has is better quality addons, container support, better customization and better privacy. On my systems I main Firefox, but I am not averse to having edge as my secondary.
