I don't see anyone falling for this either, if they were going to they would already have edge installed.

Plenty of people will fall for that, my mother rarely uses her laptop, so I installed Firefox for her. She got a notification telling her to switch to Edge, so she did. At least she told me so I could switch it back
Yeah good point. I'd recommend uninstalling edge using Aveyo's edge uninstaller, it won't annoy you anymore.
last time i tried using it, it broke all pdf files on my system and eventually i also broke the open with menu while trying to restore it (well i restored the file association and made it point to firefox, but it seems like if you forget to set anything but edge before restoring the file association, it will break the open with menu permanently for all file types, causing it to crash explorer shell when hovered over)
