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
I've been rolling out linux mint to some older family members. Firefox gave them troubles (they couldn't identify the logo), but switching in chrome did the trick. I'm now convinced that the most common OS use-case is a browser launcher.
Indeed it is, browsers are very complex pieces of software as well, they're almost like their own operating system
For sure. And increasingly so. I used to think chromebooks were silly but after this experience I totally see their value: 0->WWW as fast as possible is what people want
Chromebooks were genius
