Android, chromeOS and google in general push chrome. Windows pushes edge (i.e. chromium). Apple pushes safari (i.e. webkit). So what do you expect new users to pick?

Defaults are powerful.

Windows > Edge

iPhone > Safari

Google.com > Chrome (also YouTube, Gmail, G Maps, ChromeOS)

If you ask a regular person what browser they use you'll get answers like Facebook, Bing, Internet Edge, The Google, iPad, Foxfire. The browser, operating system, brand, search engine, hardware, email, ISP, and website are all part of a magic glowing machine to them.
