Agreed. We’re allowed Edge and Chrome on our work PCs. It works perfectly fine for most needs and brilliantly for the MS ecosystem.
I use chrome for the rare times I need to use a work browser for personal needs
Comment on Microsoft Edge is starting to annoy me big time

I use Edge in the workplace, because our company moved all our stuff into their ecosystem, so everything is already cloud-based going through all Microsoft’s stuff anyways. In theory, using Edge should limit my problems, since I’d assume it works with all their other software and it gives me one more thing I can tell IT, “Yeah, I’m using Edge with Office365, get off my nuts.” Mixed results, but seems ok. It helps keep my business life separate from my personal life.
Outside of that, I use Firefox at home and I don’t know that it’s such a terribly different experience. I just go back and forth without really noticing too much, Safari might be the biggest departure, but I avoid that as much as I can.

Might be that Edge behaves better at an enterprise instead of at home. The article mentions a few ways of Edge being intrusive. E.g. repeatedly sneakily asking you to approve tracking. A company might know how to disable those dark pattern behaviour by default.
