Bad product management. You can bet the team is like "WTF are you doing asking for this?!", and they're like "we need to hit or OKRs and I need an impactful $$$ win to get my promotion, deal with it".


Exactly this -- Edge is clearly being ruined by PMs + OKRs. You can see it in every bad decision they make.

"But see! Offering a misleading 'switch to recommended settings?' dialog has increased Bing use by 5% since last quarter! Promote me!"


Yupp. This reeks of a bad PM that is doing everything they can do get the next promotion and completely disregarding the big picture.


I can picture with hi-fi some CVP in a meeting asking "how do we monetize that? " and a "pm" presenting their fantastic idea
