Cause a) recently they've been showing more interest in developing for different platforms (OneNote, Visual Studio Code); b) the other major browsers have a Linux release; c) IE had a release for Linux at some point; and d) there is a market of people that might use their product.

And that was a long time ago when they were competing with Netscape. It was easy for them to do that because the original IE was mostly a branded version of Spyglass's Mosaic which was designed from the beginning to run on Unix and Windows. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spyglass,_Inc https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spyglass,_Inc.
