A lot of the hate comes from Microsoft forcing it down everyones throats.
If it had been left to user choice, they may actually have a decent userbase; but instead it's been forcefully installed on pretty much every windows computer regardless of the owners preferences, it repeatedly re-asserts itself as the default browser, some windows features are hard-coded to use it and break if its removed, there is no simple uninstall process, and windows update will re-install it if you manually remove it.
It's my damn computer; if I don't want a piece of software, I should be able to remove it.
Ditched Windows entirely 2 years ago partly because of that, partly because of the same upcoming behaviour with AI. Fuck Microshaft, I'll take my money and attention elsewhere. (I was previously paying for/using pro licenses, for features like RDP hosting)
