Or they don't know better. There's a very big difference. What's Edges market share? If Edge (or any other browser) suddenly gets added to the privacy-oriented list, the number of people using privacy-oriented browsers goes up, which is the important part. It doesn't matter if they care.

Well it's the right thing for users, but not for Microsoft and their shareholders.

A "user agent" should only act in the interest of it's user. If it does not, it shouldn't be used.
