The Edge team is trying really hard to create a "we do things right" story around their project. They must be annoyed that a different department squanders the goodwill they're working so hard to create with stuff like this.

If you're a team in a big company and you're trying to optimize for long-term success, you better have the power to stop other teams that try to drive short-term success with campaigns that hurt you.

The Microsoft chart in this comic is still pretty accurate:

Very large companies like Microsoft usually have a problem of the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

They should go next door and ask how that's working out for Boeing.

Well there is a bit of a difference it is unlikely a web browser is going to directly cause of a person's death.

Is this the same Edge team which forces a Bing search bar on your New Tab page, even if you've removed Bing as a search provider in the settings?
