I don't think adding OSX or Linux users will fix the problem. Nor will open or closed source.

I will never use IE if it doesn't support all platforms.

having a consistent browser experience over multiple platforms is an added feature for many users. e.g. I install chrome in all platforms I use.

My point is OSX + Linux is like 5% of the desktop OS. No matter how awesome Edge team made it, 1-2% more users will do VERY VERY little compared to the 50% of users they have lost on desktop machines in the past 5 years. They would be absolutely insane to even spend 1 money on adding new OSX users when Windows users (who get their app for FREE and with NO WORK) are leaving left and right. Gotta fix the bleeding before you worry about the lipstick.

You're forgetting Mobile. Using Chrome on android and Windows gives you the benefit of shared accounts, shared passwords, bookmarks and history.
