MS building blocks are totally different to Googles
Both overlap in marketshares in plenty of areas but at the focus for both are totally different.
For example, Bing is more of a side project of MS while it's Google's baby.
Meanwhile, Windows is MS's baby while Google dabbles in chromebook to take some of that marketshare.
To both sides, it's not about domination in both, it's about dipping their toes enough in all markets that the competitors are about.
Enough for them to not hold a complete monoply over it.
Why do you think MS & Google over the decades continuously tried to enter the phone market?
Despite not holding any major marketshare (since it's dominated by Apple vs Shitsumg)
It's because it's where $$$ is spent by everyone, some households yearly.
The same applies to all their other products.
Both are great in their own right, and both are complete terrible companies in their own right too.
If 1 of the two disappeared, that gap wouldn't be easily filled without alot of investment and adjustments by both the company and users.
Lastly Chrome vs Edge
I would take Edge over Chrome anyday, but Edge is built from chrome's foundation so if you are hating chrome, you are hating google more than the actual browser really.
