Being slightly forceful might work, but being too forceful has the opposite effect. I've seen a lot of people avoiding Edge not because of its technical demerits, or due to lack of knowledge, but because MS forces it so much down your throat that something "feels" off.
I recently installed Edge for a technical reason and was instantly grossed out by all the stupid bling they’ve added to it.
was it playing around with bing's AI chatbot? because I did it for that reason. all of ten minutes before getting bored at least.
