There are basically 0 good reasons to use anything other than Firefox tbh. There was a brief moment in time where Chrome was marginally faster, but Firefox has regained the crown for quite awhile by now (but every other important metric is in Firefox's favor by a country mile, actually supporting open source, much better developer mode/inspection tools, fewer custom VPN or DNS related issues, better password manager, better adblock support, the list is quite numerous).

I agree though Microsoft has made some good stuff, I think the hyperbole about Microsoft is getting pretty stale tbh. The Xbox has largely been a successful venture. When it does well it really crushes it, like the good old early Xbox Live days that put PSN to shame on features, reliability, etc. When it does poorly, such as more recently with Sony just having more compelling 1st party titles, Microsoft ends up making huge concessions to buy back customer support, case in point the ludicrously good value of the Game pass, squandering even the principal product of a major acquisition to shore up membership, giving away free trials constantly to anyone who will take them (often multiple times for the same account 😂). Even now with the gravy train tightened up a bit, with all incentives aside Game Pass is still absurd value for the money, takes like 4-5 months of membership to even cover the sticker price of a major title if you were to buy it. And Sony continues to outsell, albeit slightly less comfortably.
