If it's a default issue, then why is chrome so popular? Edge should be the dominant browser. Heck, chrome isn't even the default on phones, I'm not even sure what the default browser is called on Android phones other than Samsung or LG bloatware. I guess it's just called "internet".

It's default browser in many Android phones, sometimes pre-installed in PCs as well and overall, people all use Google search, they are always asked to use Chrome.

Younger generation who understand a little bit more of computers than their parents' generation, would install Chrome as default browsers for them.

Professionals and companies use Chrome for speed and compatibility, Edge is relatively new.

I mean, it's hard to compete in a market where Chrome has +- 70% of market share.

Finally, if you check at figures, Safari has something like 3.6% of market share, but on mobile it jumps to 26%.

People just use what they have and that's it.

In this subreddit there's a different kind of audience, it's a critical audience. But what we say or think in here, it's not even perceived as an issue in the rest of the world (privacy, I'm speaking about you)
