That was completely expected. You give any company monopoly over anything and they will abuse it. This was Chrome dominating browser market. Microsoft did it with IE back in the day. Now Google is doing it again.
As much as Micro$oft sucks they at least have a revenue stream independent of data mining. Still won't use Edge, mostly because it isn't great but partially because the verb form of it is edging.
Microsoft Edge is based on the Chrome codebase, so it will get the baked in ad mechanism.
