Do they really think it being a Microsoft product means people trust it more?
Yes, why not? For the layman Microsoft is the name of a company that has existed for a long time and has made reliable, functional products.
Even for the non-layman, Microsoft isn't a perfect company, but it's not as if Google is any better.
From what I've read, Edge sends way more data back to Microsoft than Chrome sends to Google which is already too much.
