At least Windows a) only does this when on battery power, b) for a valid reason, and c) hides it in the offscreen notification area.

Every time I use Google Search in Edge a prominent pop-up window asks me to switch browsers. It's extremely frustrating!

For a valid reason?

If Edge uses ~36% less power then yes, it's a valid tip. MS are obviously also angling for more Edge users, but it does legitimately increase battery life.
