I don't think anyone likes Edge.

It is not that bad. RES works, LastPass works, Adblocker is fine and on my mobile device, Edge is (for me) the best joice. Yes, it might not be the best browser out there, but Firefox and Chrome just eat up too many resources.

But on desktop I switch between Opera and Vivaldi, and I like them both.

The reasoning from MS perspective is probably that it switches the browser choice because they believe it is the best browser on Windows and the users' decision to switch was simply an incorrect one.

"...we also believe that your computing cycles are better used elsewhere. Thus, your computer is now being farmed out as a part of a computing platform; your decision to use it for your purposes was incorrect." Is that the logical conclusion you're trying to reach?

(There is an obvious, much darker parable about consent, but I'm not going to use that)

Actually, I like Edge. It's not my daily browser, and won't be unless it gets ported to macOS, but I use it about a third of the time on my home PC.
