You can’t blame them for wanting to know.

I think that the problem here is that Edge inject the poll in a web page, served from a site that is not from Microsoft, not that they asked it.

I would maybe understand that they asked when installing Chrome, or if was from a page from Microsoft. What's next ? Ask because I use bank A instead of bank B ?
