So what that they are linux users? I am sure you would consider Linux users as at least partially caring about the browser they use. I can't imagine any linux user to use Edge even if it was available on Linux. The point is more user care about the browser they user than you think.

Well Firefox is largely the default on Linux, so it wouldn't represent a proactive choice.

And linux users are probably more likely to fall into the category of sophisticated user than the general population.

I don't see any evidence in what you've presented that the average computer user cares at all about what browser they're using beyond "I will click until the annoying notifications go away".
