I'd almost bet money that absolutely not a single person will ever use it on linux.
It's just chromium with extra steps though. like how chrome is chromium with extra steps.
Being tied into the google ecosystem not enough for you? get tied to the microsoft ecosystem too!

On another note, a Microsoft-related articles comment section on Phoronix drinking game would probably be fatal. Take a shot for every time someone gibbers out "EEE" for the million+nth time.

It might be helpful for those who use Microsoft-based infrastructure (SharePoint, Office 365, Teams..) at work, Microsoft Edge comes with support for storing browser data in Microsoft profile like Chrome/Chromium does with Google profile. So there is use case for that browser.

Even in such worst case situations, you will be able to pay your bills from Linux, without having to use Windows, if you dislike it.
I will definitely be happy to have three mainstream browsers (Chrome, Firefox and Edge) on Linux, so I will be able to test my web related code on a single platform.
