I don't get why everyone is appalled by this. They're just quantifying user feedback. Long as they don't stop you from downloading chrome, and the feedback is optional, I don't see the harm

its hard to stay appalled when its been something your feeling since its inception

I'm not really appalled. Just find it notable that Microsoft has four click throughs to try to nudge people towards Edge. Seems almost like desperation

Because it has vibes of the person screaming at you demanding to know why you won't go out with them.

Internet Explorer is older than my kids. I know what it is about. I choose to go elsewhere. I shouldn't have to fucking explain why I am not giving them a chance when they had like twenty plus years to not suck.

In context, Microsoft has made it quite annoying over the years for users to keep using the browser they like. This is yet another nag in a long series.
