Microsoft doesn't compete with Google.

Sure it does, it competes on many fronts like Office (vs docs), Sharepoint (vs Google Drive), Azure (vs GCP) and many others.

Most of these have a direct relationship to Chrome vs. Edge - for example the Google workspace suite (docs, sheets etc) comes pre-bundled with Chrome whereas Office Online needs to be downloaded like any other website by the user.

Lol they just hide it very well - go to chrome://apps and check what's there :)

Doesn't a fresh Chrome install add those shortcuts to Windows' desktop?
