Booking.com pioneered a lot of e-commerce dark patterns like “X units left” and “Y people viewed this today”.
The EC pushed Booking.com to change its online sales tactics to be more transparent.

If Microsoft could ensure that the target browser would properly show the help documentation, then the complaint would hold more weight.
If there's documentation that renders correctly in modern edge but is unusable in Chrome(ium) or Firefox then that would be useful to see. It's a valid concern but I'm fairly certain it's nowhere near the top reasons that they do this. They have a history of trying to shove users into Microsoft's unwanted browser against their (often informed) wishes.
The worst one is probably trying to make it hard for users to stop paying for a service, like cancelling a subscription. That shit should be punishable by literal prison time.

Let's not split hairs over this.
I just got rid of my iPad that does. You tap "get" on the app and after doing something for 5-10 seconds it pops up a modal that says it's not compatible.
