I mean no doubt they're in an unhappy position, mostly of their own doing. They tried to modernize with Edge and did a great job building a modern browser. But it wasn't enough. They were already entrenched in a terrible reputation for having terrible browsers, and for years did nothing serious to mitigate that. On top of their failure to get more people on Edge IE is still kicking around the web and heavily integrated into legacy enterprise software. I had to build a website for some real estate agents and their office was still using IE. Edge was installed but somehow they were all still using IE and they had no idea other people were using other browsers. They mired a lot of non-technical people with their own outdated products.
