Saying that Edge is Chromium is like saying that Manjaro is Arch or diamond is just coal. They're related, but there's significant material difference.

When it was introduced in Windows 10, Edge had an immediate and massive surge in its adoption rate. That wasn't natural growth based on the application's merits -- it was simply a result of Edge being present in new installs.
