From my experience EdgeHTML has been "better" than Safari in terms of standard support ever since it was released. Also note that some of the holdbacks were Microsoft and Mozilla telling Google that their APIs had privacy issues. Now with Microsoft effectively blindly pulling from Chromium they basically have no means to object to these standards that Google is pushing. So while a Chomium-only web would move faster, I didn't see as EdgeHTML a major drag and the cost of Google controlling the web is far too high in my opinion.
