It is on FF and Edge because Google pays them a ton of money. Every person who chooses Chrome instead of FF is more money for Google because they don't need to pay themselves to make Google the default.

A fair point, though "a ton of money" is essentially 1% of their net profits for the year. Selling Chrome to someone who gets another .5% is not going to do anything at all.
