The entity making Edge is mostly Google. Edge is a shell on top of Chromium engine.

Chromium/Chrome team(s) is easily a few 100 million loss making, only profitable because of ads.

No one pays for the browser. It’s a loss leader.

So splitting them means things could get worse instead as the top browser engineers go elsewhere.

Top browser engineers going elsewhere is a good thing because it means more competition.

Browsers being forced to come up with a real business model is a good thing too.
