Your blame is misplaced on these (imaginary) "modern UX experts". Yes, there are a lot of posts on medium about "UX" (by people with job titles like "UX guru, copy writer") that amount to "draw the rest of the \S+ app". I have never seen one that says "screwing users over at every opportunity is good UX", though. The thing about the "maybe later" option is that it at least indicates what is going to happen when you click it. By the time that dialog was being designed, the 'aggressively recommend the new, worse Edge browser' "feature" was already set in stone. I don't think it's believable that any number of these UX experts at Microsoft would have the power to change something as big as how the new, worse Edge browser is to be "recommended" to users. I could believe an employee with a UX-related job title strongly recommended that all such choices are worded to explain what they do.
